My first time with Italieri. Quality, fit, and precision is about the same as Revell, but still one notch below Tamiya. 1/48 scale is a good size, parts are not too small, not too difficult to build. But still not for a beginner. The most difficult parts to assemble are in the open missiles area, and the doors, but you can choose the closed option. The plane is better looking in the closed (flying) alternative than with the underneath doors open. But then you will need a stand, the kit does not come with a stand. Overall, a satisfying build for the price.
