Reviews
Review Summary
The kit is generally well-regarded for its good detail and fit at this scale, with accurate shape and mold quality, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced modelers. However, there are consistent complaints about the decals, including insufficient quantities and incorrect colors, which detract from achieving a realistic appearance. Additionally, some note issues with balance requiring weights or a base, and minor shortcomings like missing panel details or paint scheme guidance.
