Take your time with it. This is one kit where you can't get rushed. Lots of small parts which seens like you will never finish, but once you start the major assembly, it goes together very quick. Now if only it had weapons included with it so you would not have to buy their weapons kits.

Working on that kit, too. Great kit, nice build, but if you use aftermarket accy's, particularly the Verlinden sets, be forwarned. They are a bear to get installed! Lots of cutting, lots of filing. Great kit in my book, though.

I just about finished building a 1/48 Hasagawa Tomcat, the kit went together pretty well The only troube I had was with the intake wheel well area, be carreful installing the intakes so you get a good alignment with the aft fuselage and you might have to trim parts C16 and C15 to get a good place for the main landing gear to fit correctly.

Good luck
