Brian,

I thought the the kit built pretty well. At the time I had not built very many kits and I still had no trouble with it. There were a couple of places on the wings that were not cut correctly but it was easily fixed. The nice thing about this plane is that it builds so light. That makes it very easy to fly, basically like a low wing trainer. I have heard that many spitfires are not that easy to fly but that is not the case with this one. As usual the ABS cowl was tough to fit so as not to have the seam show. I hate those things but also hate to spring for a fiberglass aftermarket one. I don't fly this plane much anymore because it is pretty tame, but it is pretty in the air. I would probably sell it if someone was interested. Hope this helps, if you have anymore questions just ask.
