This is a simple kit which can be built over a couple of days if one so desires. There are not a lot of parts and construction is fairly straight forward. Fit of the parts is excellent and only a small amount of putty on my kit was required with most of this being in the nose area and directly behind the cockpit along the top. The cockpit is very simple and looks good when this aircraft is all buttoned up. It is a small cockpit and if one includes the pilot which I did very little is to be seen so the sparsity of detail is not important. The decal sheet is superb with plenty of options, 4 different aircraft markings being supplied. If I were to criticize the decals, they may be a bit thick but with careful application they look good. The instruction sheet is a direct translation from Japanese so it may read a bit different but it is very understandable. Overall this kit looks great for the money that one spends. It is a nice model to add to your collection and one that will not break the bank to add to your display shelf. Cheers, Jeff

I have built many Japanese aircraft models, mostly the Zero and wanted another aircraft in my collection, the Frank made the connection with all the other models. Easily put together and with no parts issues I went through the kit in about a full day of building and painting. The instructions are very clear and there is no dye flash to bother with the overall kit. This is a great addition as are all the kits of Japanese aircraft I have entered on here today.

This is one sweet little kit and one that I greatly enjoyed making. There was very little flash on the parts, and for a very inexpensive kit it was very detailed. Parts fit very well with only minor adjustments. The only putty I used were on the fuselage/wing seams and these seams sanded down very nicely with a sheet of sandpaper and a little concentration. As noted in other reviews, the decals that come with this kit are excellent in their range....also, the decals were extremely easy to apply. All in all, this is one very nice little kit with a great amount of detail, ease of assembly and a great price tag.
