A first for me, a kit review of a nice looking chinese bird...look a this. I ike the box art, very dynamic
A bit of history about the plane
and once finished, it will give a quite big bird...look at the size of it once finished
It comes in a big box, very hard as often with trumpeter, you feel thaht what's inside is well protected.
Let's begin, by the instructions:
they are in Black&White on a white recycled paper (not the greyish/yellowish revell's paper and nor as nice and neat as the glossy Eduard's leaflets). There are 15 pages, with on the cover a brief history of the plane then a sprue map, the differents building steps and on the last page a picture on what and where to put the fuel tanks or missiles and pods.
in the instructions, we also have the decals and the classical ads from trumpeter about what will come soon or a well sold item
Another thing I find clever is that they did separate the box in a 3/4-1/4 ratio the 3/4 is reserved for the sprues and the last fourth is for the tiny and very fragile parts like the canopy, the nose cone, the rear end, the ejection seat and the P/E fret.
more in details
and these tiny clear parts are to put on the front of the recognition pods, on the edge of wings etc
more to come...
