Got this little cutie from a friend. It is the new tool 1/72 one. I must admit it is rather good but didn't like it as much as the Bf.109E kit they released lately. I had some difficulties in the wing roots, but hey! I generally do. If you'll build this kit be careful about the anthena mast. It tends to break as you try to cut it off the sprue, as does the Bf.109 one. I rebuilt it from metal rod and it is not the correct shep...shame
All in all it is a really nice kit...well my first zero for...can't even remember how long, so it is an unfamiliar aircraft for me. I'll probably build more of this kit.
Cheers...
