Nice easy kit. Very nice detailing by Airfix. Everything went together very smoothly.
Rating:
Instructions - 3 - very easy to understand
Assembly Complexity - 3 - Very straight forward, just follow the instructions.
Quality of Molding - 3 - Excellent quality, fine detail, no flash
Part Fit - 2.5 - Good part fit mostly, Had trouble with the wing fit, the spars don't push up enough into the fuselage and then the wings don't align when the are attached. The engine cowlings could have been done a bit better than a three piece, always looking for trouble when you have to fit three pieces into a round circle. No reason they couldn't have done the engine cowling as a single piece.
Overall Score 11.5/12
