"Good Value"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Good value kit. Like most Academy models will need some filler and work to get the fit perfect but excellent value for money and a good representation of one of the most famous US planes in WWII.

"Good little kit."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Very easy kit, not big on details but comes up well when painted.

"Entry level with potential"
4 stars"

This is a good kit for the price with nice details in the cockpit, engine, and undercarriage. Panel lines are detailed and the overall fit is excellent. It is, however, let down by poor to average quality decals. For advanced modelers looking for a fine finish, I would recommend looking for an aftermarket solution for the decals. Five-star kit, 3-star decals.
