This is awesome for the price. All the bits were cleanly printed, althougj my version did have no way of holding the retracable gear in the rear just having a slither of a clip so perhaps my version had a little error on.
Modelling skill was quite high on this kit i had plenty of issues side doors not fitting rear door almost snapping alm the clips and the biggest grip the rotors they are a nightmare with the poles being too big for the rotor head and the head itself being very fragile it snapped off.
Now these problems aside. The rest of it also had fitting problems. Infact the front to main body was the only piece that fitted cleanly as a whole. The wings also caused me a lot of fitting problems and the pylons not fitting the slots and the stand not fitting the body.
I am not saying this will ruin your model though just that you need an above average experience to solve the problems.
When the model was put together and the while front went together fairly well just some modifications of the chin gun and pinion guns to slide in cleanly.
My favourite part of this kit is the pilots. In my opinion they make this kit. I loved painting them up and they look ace in the cockpit. The rotors in the end i hacked together a 4 blade configuration using the top of the rotor head as a base. It took time but ended up magnetised so can be lifted off. Perhaps the biggest fix was how to attach it to its base with the top not fitting and snapping in several
Places. Again I ended up modelling a fix with a pinned 25 mm base to the too of the stand and big magnets glued ontop and on the chopper.
Again this model is amazing problems aside I am so happy how it turned out.
If i were to suggest changes the rotors and stand attachment would be musts. I would definitely recommend this kit but would suggest you have modelling experience as it is I would say an above average difficulty.
