Pierre,
So far I'm satisfied with the kit. The fit is good, which is a good point for me (most of my builds stall at the filling-sanding cycle), details are good for an OOB build IMHO.
One thing I realised so far is that the radio compartment hatch needed a bit of trimming and care for the closed position. The other is the support rods (?) behind the first seat. Oh, and I did not add the seats before closing the fuselage halves (to ease masking-painting later), which was not a good idea since the seats are wider than the cockpit opening...
