initially model looked good in the box, but once opened realised a part was missing, as well as four other small metal rods included that clearly was not meant for this particular kit. The instructions for assembly where very small and hard to read. some of smaller parts had to be glued into position, also some of parts/edges needed to be sanded to fit. honestly, not sure whether it was just a fault or if all Testors kits of this type are as some what disappointing. For this kit and the experience I had assembling it really wasn't worth the almost $30 I paid (think mighty ape over charge me with postage on this occasion, as kit was in stock at time of purchase) In redemption, the P-40 Warhawk looked reasonably good, as the pre-painted body wasn't half bad. Also having the choice of a stand was a nice feature. Would consider purchasing again if discounted. Would recommend price-wise, similar model kits, as the “quick build” Airfix range to suit targeted skill level.
