For a while, very brief while, I was really excited when this model was announced. I was looking forward to maybe getting one. But then reality hit. The upgrades Eduard have done are not, IMO enough to justify a nearly doubling in price over the Trumpeter kit. The potential was huge given the possibility of tubular framing etc. but alas. And having molded-in ailerons and flaps, at least the trumpeter kit has separate items. So sadly, not for me.
