Trumpeter did a good job on this model but there are some issues that need to be addressed. The rudder/vertical stabilizer tip is not the right shape but it's an easy fix. The long fuselage seams are prone to popping open and as other reviewers have pointed out, the Nautilus brace for this kit is the best solution to deal with the problem and it is also designed to allow the use of the Aires J-79 afterburner set and their wheel well set. The cockpit isn't bad but if you want to display it with open canopies you need to add locking rails, operating handles, lifting actuators and hinges. It's not a bad kit, it just needs some attention to make it better.
