Exchanged emails with seller. Very responsive and thorough in answering questions prior to purchase. Highly recommend.
Nice model, I'm very pleased. However note that the kit contained no propulsion propeller, and compared to the photograph of the painted model, it has no 'platform' just outside of the windows ... it also has less of the supports to hold the platform. The grab rails on the roof have been added, the two machine guns seem bulkier, the jet exhausts are angled rearwards ... fortunately for me, these closer match the prototype I'm hoping for! I'll find a propeller in the spares box.
