Manual

The manual looks very good from a preview perspective. A first inspection did not reveal any flaws at all. The build will reveal if it keeps the promise.

First conclusions

A first inspection revealed no flaws. The moulding is crisp and well detailed. Most of the parts are quite satin in its appearance so priming and a little bit of smoothing most likely will be required. Its quite a huge model for its scale which will occupy 24x20cm (9.5x8.0 inches) of your shelf space with its wings fold up. These remarks will be updated during the build, so for now I would say: Looks pretty good and like a traight forward build. It is certainly up to today´s standards. I´ll keep you informed, so watch this space.
