Default MK Aurora 25

Just got this kit from Singapore Hobbies, and had to rave about it. It's the most beautifully finished kit I've ever seen (and I've build over 20 kits). The balsa is first class, and every profile, angle and rebate is already put in place. How about this, the wing sheeting is already cut to size with correct angles for joining.

I wasn't going to build this straight away (it was a replacement for an old Cosmo Glint that died of old age) but couldn't stop myself building it. Wing, stab and fin are now framed up (only 2 nights work, and that's using aliphatic (slower than CA)).

Any one else have experience with these kits. The design is very refined, should be a neat little practice plane for pattern. I had a TT 36 Pro that I was going to fit, but I've decided to put in a new Irvine .39 (bit more power, as the Glint was a little underpowered for good knife edge etc).

I'm definately an MK fan now. The kit was very reasonably priced, and the service from Singapore was excellent. We don't get many options for kits in Australia, so this is a good find.
