This is a good quality kit. Lots of detail and the parts fit is generally very good. The cockpit canopy / windows took some adjustment but not too bad. This kit is a nice balance of a mid complex kit and enjoyably problem free construction. There are two options of wing flap settings, landing/take off & mid flight which I have never come across before. The kit also has proper Options for wheels up or down. I prefer wheels up and almost all kits require a lot of adjustments to make the kit wheels up and still look good. Decals were problem free but no information was available in English to identify where the two decal options aircraft are based. There is also a coloured additional diagram to show colour scheme and decal location which is a nice touch. Happy with the finished model and had fun making it. I will be happy to buy other Zeveda kits if they are of this quality. Not the cheapest of kits but for me, the quality justified the price.
