Nice Set!...and typical that it gets released just weeks after I spent hours and hours with applications of 'Mr Surfacer' and polishing pads trying to eradicate all the seams on the very nicely detailed but multi part kit assemblies and where in metallic, the tiniest seam or inperfection showed up like a sore thumb!
I am sure for those building more than one GWH MIG 29, this set will be a 'must' .

You're right Gary! The nozzles as a parts layout in the GWH kit may be accurate in appearance, but they are a pain to get rid of the seam. Now if someone could improve the intake assembly, it would be without problems.
