I just picked up this conversion kit from the LHS. The fuselage halves are very nicely done and as usual there is a little bit of resin cleanup that will need to be done. The panel lines are very crisp and clean however there are no rivets but those can be added easily. The engine front is a heavy piece of resin and has a very cleanly molded radiator screen though I would have preferred a separate PE part. The wheels are the early A style. The "side pipes" need a little cleanup and they look very nice. All of the other parts are typical for resin kits.
Overall it looks like it will go together quite well with the Hasegawa kit. You do need to chop the wings but at a panel line.
I look forward to working on this conversion in the near future.
