the model is a bit tedious to assemble just pay close attention to instruction sheet. Do not separate parts from sprue tree so you don't get confused assembling. That is why I gave it a four star because of the age of the plane and I am not sure if it is a re-box (1999). But if you show patience it will turn out to be an attractive model. I did mine in a camouflage scheme and with low visibility paint scheme.
