I can give you a hands on review. I just finished one and would have to say it was a fun kit to build. There are some rough spots , but the fit was great. If you drop the main flaps, they do hit the Sparrow missles . This is in the full down position. I didn't encounter any thing I would call bad while working on it. I would however suggest buying an after market seat for it though. The kit seat was a major let down, very plain and lacked detail. Mav
