Overall, this was a pretty nice build for a new kit, although there were a few problems with this kit. First, while the directions were pretty clear some of the paint call-outs were missing or incorrect. Also, it would help if they would use FS numbers for the Revell paints to make it easier to match to their paints. The instructions provide an option for having the gears in the stored position, however the kit does not include a mounting stand (similar to some Hasegawa kits) if you decide to go this route. The wing mounts for the stores are clipped on before the top an bottom wing assemblies are glued together so that they can swivel. However, after prime/paint/clear coat, etc. the became locked in place, so be aware of that. The main landing gear was difficult to assemble and connect to the landing gear bays. It's a three piece assembly that I was never able to figure out so I did the doors closed option. Hopefully some one else will have better luck than me. The decals were fine, nice, and sharp. They went on without a problem. The fuel tank tiger decals were a pain though. Like I said at the beginning, nice kit with some issues and headaches.
