IMHO, The biggest problem with the 1/28 Revell kit (in any of its issues) is the slots in the wings made to fit the single piece interplane struts, a compromise to build-ability which is a pain for the modeler who desires a replica, an also results in bowing of the wings at those points.

Strut problems are overcome with a little work and you end up with some marvelous kits ( still going since 1957 attests to that)
