Hi Steven, the model is from Composite ARF but there is still lots to do. All the parts are glass with scale details moulded in. It is a good and very enjoyable build and I think they have re-done the kit to refine a few things. I have a 102inch Spitfire in a box to start when the P-51 is done which is also from Comp ARF.Cheers Trent. Doug I responded to your P.M so I wont repeat it again here but I hope it helps.
