Please note: this is NOT an easy kit.
If you have done a few older East European limited run kits and want something unique, this fits the bill. But find a place of worship to seek absolution while you're constructing it, even the most reverent curse when constructing a kit such as this.
There are no less than 15 individual struts to the parasol wing/float structure and two V-struts for the horizontal tail planes. Prepare on one full day at the workbench just cutting them carefully from the sprue and doing the extensive clean up required. There are markings on the model for where the struts are to go, but they are incorrect. If one should use them in constructing the model, good luck. It is easier to align and mount the main backwards N-shaped cabane struts first using the kit's template to align the wing with tape. The struts were cemented to the wing, but not to the airframe, until time to mount the wing in the final assembly. The rest of the struts were painted separately and mounted in the final assembly using much fit and adjust, not to mention a few choice expletives. Horizontal tail plane struts were mounted in the final assembly also.
