This is one of Tamiya's best ever kits in my opinion, the fit of the parts is excellent.

There is a metal insert for the cockpit to keep the nose down on it's tricycle undercarriage so eliminating the need for extra weights.

Construction is straight forward and no difficulties lay ahead.  The camouflage calls for an airbrush to get the full mottled effect.  The radar array is nicely done being built into the nose section, and although the antennas may be slightly over scale they don't look out of place.
