I knew I saw a review with pics of this kit somewhere. Just took me a while to find it.

I have been working off & on with this kit for a few years. It's a limited-run kit, with thick sprue attachments. The plastic is thick & rough, and the white metal parts are crude. The plastic is brittle, and there are flow channels on the inside surfaces of the fuselage & wings, and crusty flash on all parts. I replaced the forward instrument panel, engine intake, prop, drop tank, main & tail wheels, and trim wheels with parts from a Hasegawa kit. I also cut replacement gear doors from sheet styrene.
On the other side, the cockpit sidewall detail & vac canopy are great. I haven't gotten to a stage to try the decals yet.
This is a kit for the experienced, brave, and iron-willed modeler.
Hope this helps.
Almost forgot - the tail planes are butt-joints which have to be carefully shaped to fit (mold parting lines are like rope on almost every piece).
