Hi Martin I thought this was a new tooling but found out its just a rebox, but saying that i did this kit a bit ago and its just great, the only problem i had was with the undercarrage the instructions are not that clear Agreat plane will watch this if WIP and i may just get another one

What a great idea for putting weight in the nose. Going to ned some strong glue to hold that in place lol.
