This
is the initial release of this kit, of which in 2008 Revell of Germany reissued again. The kit is simply perfect, except the decals. The panel lines are
crisp and detailed, fit is perfect. Revell even includes the RLM codes for
the
paints with the usual Revell mixes.

The
cockpit of the plane is a little bit “strange”. According to the
Revell design, the pilots should be at least 2.5m long with at least 50cm
of it should be neck! But only a little can be seen after construction.
I
completed the kit with seat belts from masking tape and detailed the
engine with stretched sprue.
The
decals on my kit were out of register, especially at whites. There’s a very
detailed decal set with the kit, but the carrier paper was yellowish and a thick
residue happened to stuck on the decals. Therefore I overpainted most of the decals
underneath, as the yellowing was so obvious over RLM 76. Revell reissued this kit
with new decals, and I already bought another one. The new decals seems perfect.
This kit was definitely worth the effort.
