Some of the worst instructions I have ever seen. The plastic is actually quite brittle: I had to clamp it hard to get the fuselage halves closed properly, and an alarming split appeared!. Finally, the upper wing roundels were too small. But, you know what ? It's a Gannet AEW3 and I love it!

the surface detail on this kit is atrocious. ive seen better detail on monogram kits from the 70's. and this is more expensive than the airfix offering.
