Those engines are going to need quite a bit of cleaning up.

Hi Jessie
Some cleanup needed, kit has very little flash and good mold alignment except stub past tail on top half short shot so some filling to do.
I have glued in two 1/4 OZ weights so no tail sitting.
Cockpit windows are molded in so need filling as the kit has decals for windows
