This
is a big kit! I really enjoyed
building this model. It has plenty of detail I built straight out of the box.
The interior is a beauty and it is a shame to close it, but I did not think I
wanted to have an open top transport.

There
were some areas of troublesome fit, but I think every kit presents its own
peculiarities. Not even Tamiya has made the perfect kit yet. Anyway
what would us modelers do without a challenging fit or assembly? Overall
Revell’s kit is wonderful. The decals were pretty reluctant to conform to the
corrugated surface, but with some perseverance and patience this can be
overcome. A dose of laquer thinner may help the decals snuggle down a bit
better, but I did not have the guts! I used the strongest decal softening
solution available “Solvaset” and that helped a lot.
