I picked this up at work today, is there anything that I need to look out for besides the chunky detail?

Thanks!

Hi Chip

Besides the "chunky detail" you'll find it has far nicer fabric effect on the fuselage than the badly exaggerated look of the Hasegawa Hurricanes. Despite its age, it's a good kit.

All the best

I built one of these a very long time ago, the only real issue I remeber is that the undercarriage doors don't quite fit right, but that could just as easily have been down to me?

I built several of these over the years, always found it to be a fun kit, with dreadful out of register decals, and a thick canopy. (I believe Falcon or Squadron do a Vac-u-form Canopy for it.)
