The surface detail is nice as is the fit.  Some of the decals were resistant to even Walther's Solvaset, most were OK  but for being somewhat brittle.  The landing gear must be
installed early and you have to drill holes in the legs if you follow the instructions.  I had to substitute another kit's main gar after it broke at the holes.  By
clipping the aft end of the center keel I was able to slip in the replacement.  If I build this kit again I will cut the keel and install the main gear at the end of the build.
