My kit was deformed in the left tail wing. However with puddy I was able to save the situation. the plane itself goes together easily in about 15 minutes. the kit gives you the option of gear up or down plus gives a nice stand and a game card. so for the price you get a lot, BUT painting all the frames in the bombadeers window and cockpit windows are a real challenge at this scale so i would not blame you to just leave it. I have built more of these kits and the quality isn't bad and they are easy to build and cheap whats not to like except painting the dang windows.
