Alex SOverall it's a nice kit as far as short run kits go - PE & masks included.
However, the instructions leave a lot to be desired:
1) The A4 sized booklet is folded and stuffed into the box.
2) Lacks any kind of color call outs during the build process (interior aside, what's the color of the flap bays?).
3) No exact placement of small PE parts is shown - just a general area where the part should go.
4) No instructions for rigging. Frankly, for the price it's being sold for one would expect the rigging struts to be provided in the kit.
5) Painting guide: just try telling apart where silver v white paint goes.
Now for the positive: it's a reasonably accurate 1/48 Dragon Rapide and, fair play, the only one on the market. Just be prepared to spent some time figuring out the instructions puzzle.

bughunterThe statement on the back side of the manual is wonderful: "Shelf life unlimited." 😉
