"Great kit"
jeremy.s.michels1
This is a great kit. The 1/72 scale make this on the smaller side which can be difficult for some modelers. There isn't much detail in the cockpit, but there is nice enough detail for the missile bays. You have the choice of have the bays open or closed. The parts are molded in black, so there doesn't need to be any painting. I would recommend this kit to any modeler who is a fan of aircraft.

"Nice kit of what could have been"
philciborowski
This kit is a bit long in the tooth, with only minor updates being made since it was first released. Having said that, it isnt extremely detailed, and has some fit issues. Built right out of the box the kit has a minimal cockpit- which can be detail painted nicely to represent something realistic. The kit captures the look of the Commanche well. There is no detail to speak of in the gear bay or the weapons bay (which can be built open or closed). The worst part - I found, was the seam that ran from nose to tail on the bottom side. It took a lot of sanding and filling to get things smoothed out, but there was difficulty getting the seam to disappear in the nose sensors, without losing the soft detail. It wasnt a challenging built, but fun nonetheless.
