A fun little kit. Zero fit issues. One must be extremely careful not to break the discharge tips on wings and tail rudders. I've had a couple fiddly strut bits break off while removing from sprue tree. Be mindful of them.

Decals are a challenge especially the stripes when trying to figure out the exact placement they go. I did have to touch up the gaps where the main decals didn't touch. Semi gloss black did the trick. The biggest challenge was matching the darker grey stripe. Luckily, Model Master Engine Grey was the closest match once dried to match the decals. You wouldn't notice it.
