I was wondering if any of you have any experience with this kit and could offer any insight into its construction with regard to any potential pitfalls or problems etc.
Basically, I’m fairly new to working with resin and PE and I’m wondering if this kit would be suitable for someone who is fairly inexperienced when it comes to ‘limited run’ kits…
Thanks in advance,
Noah
BTW – I know Classic Airframes had an earlier offering of this kit (which was considered very difficult) but I’m referring to their ‘new tool’ Fokker D.XXI

Here's a build article about the Special Hobby Finnish 3rd series kit: http://koti.mbnet.fi/~jjuvonen/planes/fokker%20d-21.html
Since the CA kit share's a majority of parts with the SP kit, I'd guess that makes a good reference for basic construction.
Which one of the CA boxings do you have? I found two on Hyperscale:
- Dutch defender
- Danish & Luftwaffe

Thank you for the build article and response – I haven’t purchased the kit yet, but my LHS has the Dutch version in stock.
Take care,
