Review by: Kelvin
Foxtrott1st off I marked it down one star as my kit came incomplete. 1. I only received a manual for the body and tail no details for the wing. I did source a complete manual which Neil has put on his site. 2. I had full plans for the wings but no full size plan for the body (which would have been handy for shaping) 3. Some small parts were missing (some dowel and a couple of small rods and connectors) these I had in my workshop so no problem. Having said the above I received in my kit some parts that were not part of this kit.
All though it sounds like I am disappointed far from it the plane is nearly finished and looks really good.
One thing I would say is that if you are not ok or this is your first build this Not an easy build Google translate from German is not the best read. If you can build from a plan only you will have no problem.

Very good kit, but .....Perfectly model to build. Unfortunately, the kit only includes an illustrated building manual in German. For model builders who do not speak the German language, the not always easy structure should cause some problems. (I was born in Switzerland and went to school, the German language is not a problem for me.)
