Careful is listed in product specs as 1/48 it is not. It is 1/72 scale. The listing has been since corrected to reflect the correct scale. I can not comment as to how well the model will go together sonce I never built it. I will say that the parts were well cast. Crisp with almost no flashing.

I like acadamy kits. No better or worse that Airfix or Revell. This kit went together nicely. The larger tiger head decals were problematic but not impossible and I got a good finish when completed.

Das Modell ist perfekt. Nur die Aufkleber lassen zu wünschen übrig, da sie sich ablösen.
Die Passgenauigkeit und die Details waren gut.

Great Kit! It’s not a 1/48th. It’s 1/72nd! Very important to understand that. Enjoyed building a classic warbird! 😉

Very minimal directions with extra parts was confusing but wasn’t too hard to figure out. It’s tiny. Fits in your hand. Cool model.
