Ron Garcia
No frills model. No PE (which I'm okay with), not a bunch of teeny tiny pieces to complicate the build, surprising lack of formation and wingtip lights clear parts; sort of like one step up from the ancient Monogram kits with recessed panel lines. Again, not a complaint.

Builds super fast. Good fits except the intake to the fuselage which requires a bit of filler. Not sure why the nose landing gear door was molded as a clear piece, but I'm sure there's a reason.

Nice selection of weapons. Choice of decals uninspiring.

Overall, a nice and easy build. Recommended.
