    This kit needs some correction and modification. I have started to correct the nose shape by using AMS resin set. You can see this story on the attached pictures.

    Looks great, I am building my first Trumpeter kit and find some of the detail astounding and some of the mistakes they made baffling!

    There has been more than 4-5 weeks from the beginning, but this is the gross time. Pure (net) time is approx one or two weeks.

    Thanks Rob
    As a matter of fact I do not like Trumpeter s kits. Maybe this one is more acceptable than the others.
