I got one in my closet right now. Just waiting to be build. If you can find a back issue of Fine Scale Modeler, there was a write up and build on this kit. I don't remember which month it was, around a year ago. I do know it was also featured on the cover that month. I'm at work now so I won't be able to check my copy until I get home late tonight.

That's Wright (slapping knee), it's in the December 2003 issue. 6 pages of kitbashing instructions as he says that the kit, though fairly accurate, is "somewhat thick and crude". I can scan it and email it to you, if you'd like.

Correction to my last... You're asking about the Royal Models kit while the FSM article is about the Monogram kit... no big surprise about it being crude.

Looking at their site, royalmodel.com, only gives a brief history of the company. They make resin and photoetch aftermarket kits, though, and in Canada you can find some of their merchandise through http://www.bentbutnotbroken.com/ . I don't think that I've ever used any of their items as it seems to be primarily WWII subjects.
