Came on time, product looks very cool and us accurate to the ww 2 period. I'm very happy with this detailed facsimile of the dreaded Me 262

Poor design features.
You are given an option of mounting the landing gear in either an up or down position. However the nose gear wouldn't stay in place and simply fell out. I had to glue it in place which means I haven't an option to change it later. This also destroys any resale value. The stand also had to be glued together making it quite unsightly. The stand on the JU-87 was also difficult to assemble but at least it worked. This one kept tilting to one side until the wing touched. The detail is very good although there was a stray paint mark on the underside. I have a JU-87 by Unimax and the detail is quite good also. The extra cost for this model is *not* worth it considering the design flaws.
