This is a nice looking kit. Fine
detail in the resin casting, and only
a few very small bubbles. Propeller blades, landing gear struts &
doors, instrument panel, control stick and pilots seat are all cast in
white metal . None of the parts look as if they will require extensive
cleanup. Two vacuform canopies are included, so you can screw one up
and get away with it. An acetate landing light is listed in the parts
list, but my kit doesn't have one. Oddly, the canopy framing is much
clearer than the 'glass', but a coat of FutureT floor polish should
help. As usual with Arba kits, no decals are supplied, but I'm sure if
you're reading this, you've got a stash of the required kreuzen. The
only complaint I've got about this kit is the instructions. One page of
text consisting of a brief history of the aircraft, a parts list, and a
twelve step assembly procedure, no illustrations, and only a
not-very-well-lit photo glued to the box top as a guide. It mentions to
check the dihedral when assembling the wing, but fails to specify the
angle, if any. To end on a positive note, it looks as if it will build
into a fine looking model. I'll get it built....one of these days.
