        Sir

        Magnificent. Securely packed and top quality. Very nice model. For me 10/10. It was exactly as described on the website. Many thanks.

          Great piece, instructions could be clearer

          The model is actually a 10/10...it is an incredibly beautiful piece. 1/2 star removed for instruction clarity. In short: IM MAVERICK...YOU CAN BE GOOSE!!! I broke it the first day. The instructions give the impression the pylons can be removed. I was able to fix it but i just wish the instruction card was a little clearer that those should not be removed. the back is also blank, a waste of space that couldve been used to give other load-out options. Other than my brain fart...a very well molded, painted and put together piece. Id buy it again.
