I just received this Rodan JOV-1A Mohawk model and am looking forward to building it. On first inspection all of component parts are very nicely detailed. The instructions are clear and concise and the decals will look very nice on the finished product. Even though there are some parts with minor flash and halos they will clean up nicely and I foresee no problems with the build. I'm looking forward to working on this project and adding this aircraft to my collection

Great subject matter and scale but the model isn't the easiest to come together. It's a Roden so the issue's weren't all together unexpected. The plastic was thin, lots of ejector pin marks, some sink marks but the biggest issue I had was several parts didn't fit together well. The fuselage halves and canopy were the hardest and required a good amount of work as well as putty, sanding and reshaping. It was a task to build but I do like the end result. The supplied rocket pods were not of the quality I was hoping for so I substituted with some aftermarket resin pods. If I were to build it again I think it would come out better as I'd know where the pain points of the model are and know better how to tackle them. Bottom line, if you want a cool model of an armed Mohawk this is your kit...just be prepared to work on it.
