My review of the new tooling kit on first opening the box and see in the bag of bits my mouth started to water. But that's just me taking you look at the parts there are three trees of parts tree at the fuselage with fine panel lines and recess rivets detail all of parts on all three trees are sharply molded there is no flash to speak of all mould line are minuscule the pilots are the best I've ever seen from Airfix. The level of detail is amazing in there undercarriage Bays they even have put wire in there. All of the pin marks I up in places where you cannot see them. Check it out my video review of the escape from the our in-depth.

The instructions seemed to be clear and precise also there seems to be a great deal of details to be built with this one. The clear parts of the thinnest parts as seen in Airfix kits and they have well defined framing so masking up for spraying or painting will be easy with these canopies and I can't wait to start building this one. It looks like it's gonna be a pleasure to build and paint.
 
The detail on these new airfix kits is truly amazing.
I just wish they could get the sprue size down as they often have tint parts attached with massive connections that can be tricky to remove without breaking their soft plastic
