Ok first of all the description of this kit sounds great, however I don't really agree with it. For example, the description says this kit has a detailed cockpit interior...I don't see how a control stick and poorly represented gauges can be called highly detailed There is no detail on the side of the fuselage. Most planes at least have a throttle lever. Another issue is the description states the kit has detailed pictures on the instructions but I will have to disagree and say they were vague at best but not too much of a challenge for seasoned model builders. Ok, enough of the bad. There were some nice things about this kit like the painting guide. It's ok I mean it doesn't tell you what colors to paint the plane, it only shows you how the camo detail should look. The decals are nice and tough, unlike some I've seen. I would have to say though, my favorite feature was the optional landing gear. You don't need to modify the gear doors to put them in the stowed position. All together I would give this kit a 3 out of 5 so its a good kit if you're not looking for a highly detailed kit...also I'm not entirely sure this kit is 1/72 scale because the pilot figure is way too big to fit into my other 1/72 scale planes so this fact made me a little upset with the kit but it was still a fun build.
