The overall package from Academy is excellent and vastly superior to the old Matchbox version of this type! No wing folds though, which may upset a few, although thinking back to the Matchbox example, maybe it is not a bad thing (remember those hinges' in that kit!). All the injected parts have nice crisply moulded recessed panel lines and there is a good amount of interior detail. There is also a full bomb bay with two bombs in it and separate bomb doors. The cockpit is multi-part with separate sidewalls that just slot into place and although there is room for you to add more detail if you want, that is entirely up to you. All I added were some pre-painted seat belts from Eduard, as the seats looked bare without them. The rear cockpit area is the same, although the radio equipment rack (#A6) is a little two-dimensional, so I am sure the aftermarket boys will come to your aid there. The cam-shell dorsal spine is a little simplified, but reference to books like the In Action title will show you what is really in this area and most of it can be built from plasticard if you desire.
