The kit is from Trumpeter and was easy to build. There were problems at the wing roots and the cargo doors, refused to fit right. The engines are also not correctly reproduced. As a replacement
I used the resin parts of
Brazmodel. From the same manufacturer and of the tail cone has been incorporated, showing the civilian version without rear guns. In addition etchparts of Extratech were
used. This has parts for the landing gear, antennas, landing lights, boarding ladder, windscreen wipers and
jet inside. The latter are not necessary when using the Resin place.
