I want to say that the kit itself is not bad. I liked assembling it, but the quality of the product, which was manufactured in the USSR, is just terrible! I feel sorry for Soviet modelers. Perhaps, I should have looked for an original FROG kit.

Those parts of the kit that were made of green plastic are VERY FRAGILE and do not glue well. Apparently, this is the famous Soviet polystyrene with a yield coefficient of about 4 units (FROG used plastic at least 30).

Here, I have moved slightly away from the "canons" of Soviet modelers and am making this "Beaufighter" with bombs, without a torpedo. This is a big "sin", by the standards of Soviet modelers from the 80s. 🙂

There were great doubts about the successful application of the decals. They were quite old (about 30 years old), and previously, I had had a bad experience with Travers decals, but everything went well. I'm glad about that.

Despite the not very good start, I liked the result itself and did not regret the time spent on this kit.
