A simple, but well-detailed model for modelers of all experience, only beginners and less experienced modelers should stick this model under the supervision of a more experienced colleague. Well detailed cockpit, engine maquette, separated control plates. However, for beginners and modelers with little experience we recommend not to make the cockpit equipment, engine model, and to make the cockpit cover opaque.
