The take off dolly is poorly represented on the MM version. The FG version, as old as it is, is better detailed.
But I think the kit as a whole, built up great! The fuselage shape is quite nice and looks like the wings fit good too!

Perhaps poorly stated by me, the weakness is in the design of both the supports for the skid and the take-off dolly. The skid supports aren't strong enough nor do they attach to the fuselage with any real support. The take-off dolly has no registration to the skid. There may be some suggestions in the Polish instructions for strengthening the entire assembly, but there's nothing in the diagrams to show it.
I agree that the general form is decent, but this is still not a kit for some one who expects a paper model to fit well!
