This is the first Blue Box model I have purchased.I was pleased with the plane,especially since I could''t build one with the detail this one has. Specifically I''m referring to the weathered look.The model went together quickly without a lot of effort. Visitors in my house think that it is a diecast model of which 99.9% of my collection is diecast. In comparing it to photos of Swett''s plane,Blue Box did a great job putting out a nice model at a very affordable price. The only negative I can see with the plane is that the pilot figure does not fit into the cockpit properly.I''m afraid to push too hard in fear of damaging the control column or worse. Looking at pictures from other model dealers seems to show the same problem as it appears the top of his head prevents the canopy from closing. I personally am not a fan of the majoity of pilot figures that come with a lot of models and therefore do not display them with the figure in the aircraft.This particular model is an exception as I was very impressed with the pilot detail. For anyone looking for a nice affordable model, this one I would recommend.
