I've been fascinated with this aircraft ever since the late '80s, when my father bought me a VHS tape with some footage from Farnborough and Le Bourget salons. Seeing the Modelsvit releasing this beauty, made my heart sing with joy. It's an out of the box build, but really there's not much need for aftermarket as Modelsvit provides really great details in plastic, some of the best if not THE best on whole market and what's even better, they add a PE fret for those little details and paint masks (even for interior of the canopy and windshield!).

The build requires a little bit of patience and experience, but with clever design it doesn't provide too many obstacles during the build up. The biggest challenge was to paint and "weather" the white aircraft, really.
