First airplane model ever built but must say it was an excellent model (Revell knows what they are doing, always have). I'm a car/truck builder for many decades until a family member thought it was a good idea to purchase this model for a 10 y/o because his name is Mitchell, then give it to the only model builder in the family to complete. At least I can say I've experienced the military model build scene for a moment. Truly a good model, very well thought out and created. Provided quite the challenge air brushing two colors without masking. As others mention, the weight of the tail section will tip the plane back if you don't use the aft door with step stool to keep all 3 wheels on the ground; think about this before you get too far in the build. I had to create a stand for mine to sit right. fun build...
