I'm one of those who have been waiting for a kit of this aircraft, looks good too. I'll certainly be getting one. Thanks for the review Rowan

Cheers Mal

It's a really nice little kit. My main reference for the review was Jet Pioneers, by Tim Kershaw; I'll add a separate review for the book, but I recommend it for anyone interested in the Pioneer.

All the best

Rowan
