I built the original Dragon kit 2 years ago...for the second time. I was a kid the first time...
I had to weight behind the radiators as well as every nook and cranny in the forward fuselage and ventral gun bay. So I'm glad to see some lead parts!
The white metal PE was a nightmare and I ended up breaking so many of the aerials that I scratch built the dipoles from stretched sprue.
That being said, when I was a kid, and two years ago, it was a putty eating build. Make sure you have lots of sandpaper.
Still, it's an Uhu in 1/72 scale. Depends on your values, I guess.
I too had the original boxing, but lost that when I split from the Ex (along with pretty much most of my stash, insert plenty of swear words here lol), and was quite impressed with the contents, but never got too build it, so its nice too know how it goes together.
The photo etch is produced by Eduard so its going to be good quality.
The inclusion of the weights is outstanding, especially in aircraft where there isn't any room to put any, so top marks for Platz for that.
