Hi Darren, a very good and detailed review. Matches my experience with the kit too....
The only other flaw I would hghlight is the wing mirrors. The space between the rod and the actuall mirror is solid and just looks terrible. But someone with even basic skills can fix this. Overall I found this to be a great kit though with excellent fit on all parts

This is how it came out for me:

Thank you for that Sean as I missed the wing mirrors.

Hi Darren,
if I may hijack the thread, I posted a BLOG on the site which could help the builders to make their mind.
The model is not intended to the pure modeler market but is a good base. The interior is quite basic and if you intend to show it through open doors, for example, some work is necessary as RoG simplified some areas like the seat frames or the weapon station controls.
But it is worth the price and turns into a nice model.
