A well made kit and pleasant built. Great value.
 
This is an older Tamiya kit with less of the details you'll find in more modern castings. But it's low price. Despite its age, it's still a solid kit with great fit. With some added scratch built details, you can have a fine looking display model. The instructions suggest potential addon's which are designed into the molding. For example, they the wing flaps have recessed spaces to cement in scratch built stringers. I modified the engine to have tube enclosures for the valve lift rods plus ignition cables for the spark plugs. Among other details, I also installed hydraulic brake lines for the wheels. The kit comes with 2 sets of canopies; A completed one for a closed canopy and a 3 piece set for an opened one. I built my open so you can see the details in the cockpit. The kit also comes with several figures. I ignored these.
