P Paul Daniell Guest Mar 24, 2014 #3 what was the kit like to put together? how did the paint take to the plastic? Only ask as i have just done a A4 skyhawk from starfix and it was a pig to put together and the paint didn't take to the plastic very well? Cheers Paul

M MPal Guest Mar 24, 2014 #4 Went together pretty well. I washed the parts before painting, and had no issues. Quite pleased with how it came out.

P Paul Daniell Guest Mar 24, 2014 #5 I think it looks really good wish my starfix had come out like that. Cheers Paul
P Paul Daniell Guest Mar 24, 2014 #6 Did you attempt to use the funny decals that come with it or skip them? cheers Paul
