the cockpit is reasonably well detailed out of the box

the build is a breeze - really well engineered. The kit is not explicitly designed for wheels-up/in-flight, but the modification is pretty straight-forward

The kit does contain crew figures, but they are not pose-able and are identical. I got some replacements from PJ Productions.

Great build Paul. It reminds me Phoenix Squadron from Rowland White's book.

Thanks! Mike yes, absolutely. The kit builds really well, and is nicely engineered. I can't speak to accuracy - not my speciality. I hear the new 1:48 is at least as good if not better (but I prefer 1:72 anyway)
