This kit did tempted me when issued.
Are the donor kit parts (saturn 5, morser...) a special order or the main issue ? (As this will revised my opinion)
Looking at the parts, it seems that the assembly will go rather easily.

Doug well as you read above we started & ended up as usual getting a little anal...
So get it out & let's do it.
Lol!!!
So after getting some Primer on everything was a lot clearer.
As Phil said there are a couple of areas that could be better,as usual & is the case with most kits.
Even mine & is why I have started going back & fixing patterns on my kits.
After a splash of primer the scribe lines on the upper forward hull could\should be a lot cleaner.
They are a relatively easy fix so am not bothered by it.
I do suggest Chris revisit the pattern & clean them up for future prospects.
The other thing that came up a little short is the rear trench wall.
It's approximately 0.5mm to short so the Rail Gun part does not fit as it should.
Phil decided to cut the part to fit but I am going to drill it out so the part fits.
Also found some missing detail from the back upper fuselage when looking at an Andy Property picture of the studio model.
There are 2 more tanks that sir butted up together in between the 2 already on the rear.
There seems to be a couple of small pieces laying horizontally over those but can not see clear enough what they are.
But looking in the Leo kit spotted these 2 little parts that may be them.
Makes sense as are right by the tanks used on the sprue.
There are also some unidentified parts that sit on the wing edges.
Spear looking parts.
Lastly the there is a part missing from the gun turret on the top just behind the cockpit.
Again looking in the Leo is this part that looks right to me in scale, shape & simply looks like a gun?
Ok so drilling sanding time.
I still like this kit even with the extra work.
