Not only rendering goofs, but parts are spread all over each page and some parts are missing altogether. Some parts are mismarked and the same number is used for two different parts? There are some parts with the part number printed across them ( instead of a leader line to the part). Lastly, it is missing detail views of the components, so it's a guessing game and sometimes, I had to rearrange parts to make it all fit. The photos of built model on the Model-Kom website is not the same as the printed one I purchased. So whoever modified the model for commercial printing messed up somewhat. I would not recommend it for an inexperienced builder. but..... I just love unique planes and this is certainly one. Isaac

Inlet sub assembly
Here is the under the chin engine inlet assembly
frame. Notice the splitter ( shaped like a triangular wedge ) external skins There are two housings in the assembly here. The nose gear bay and the air brake. sub assembly and skin I had to remove a portion of the framing as it interfered with the airbrake housing. gear bay is glued trimmed and ready glued together but.... the frame is a bit too long in the back and needs trimming. also, the nose gear bay aft wall is non existent ( I will add a scrap piece ). all is ready note : the small rectangular opening on the sides of the inlet are for the engine auxiliary blow in doors ( used during take off condition ).

Inlet on
Here is the inlet assembly and the fuselage
glued on. Not the best fit in the back due to some confusion on my part and part fit as well as lack of glue strip/frame there. I will fix it later on. Isaac

Despite all of the issues with this kit, you're doing a great job Isaac.
