I normally build 1/72 but built this model for my father. Overall, I thought that it was an excellent model. It was well engineered, good soft plastic and the fit was excellent. Detail is excellent and has a nice cockpit. Decals are also excellent but general decals only. No stencils. Decals for 3 versions but two are from the same squadron. Only one deep sea blue paint scheme. I used 14 grams in the nose to level it out. The only negative was that the PE dash and film were missing from my kit. Fortunately the instructions had a drawing of the film and it fit perfectly in the dash. I would check the positioning of the gun sight with the canopy before it sets to make sure that there is no interference.

Great kit. Has good detail, very little flash. Even has a photo etch cockpit dashboard. Cant wait to get started.
