"Be prepared."

Bkeen76 (Rocky Mount, NC)

I'll give it 5 stars for the amazing detail. Truly a very intricate model with tons of fine detail. However the instructions fall short. The instructions seem to relate to crude cave drawings but is you have patients and dry fit pieces into place before cementing you will get through it and don't be afraid to google other peoples builds. But I would definitely build this kit again and recommend it.

"Fine model of the TBM-3"

ssyoon

It was a really great kit to work with. The details were amazing, and the build was quite excellent. Had a little tough time assembling the turret, but was worth the time. I was quite surprised to see that the TMB was larger than most planes. Decals were also nice to work with, and is a great addition to my collection. Once colored, it looks really great. Totally worth the price.

"Big beautiful bird"

atbimagesllc

Everything fits brilliantly, once you figure out how it fits. I read these reviews before ordering it. Crude cave drawings is a fair assessment. Once you crack the code, it goes together, it might take an hour or three to fit a piece, but that's the challenge. The details are amazing. It's worth the extra time and effort.

"Tricky but satisfying results"

tmancini219

This is a pretty tricky kit with some notable fitment issues and very vague instructions. However, if you stick with it, the results can be very satisfying with impressive detail. I personally loved the thin decals that melt into the surface, but am not happy with the bomb bay doors which should fold accordion style.
