Rarely do I have unreserved praise for a kit, but this one by Hobby Boss is absolutely superb. More or less everything just fits and there's no fight to install the interior because there are decent sized locator lugs. This requires only minimal filler. The underside fuselage join is not quite aligned and there are some fit issues with the windscreen, but that's very easily solved.
Here I don't think the photo does justice to the end result. My phone camera seems to amplify all the flaws. What you get for a mere £15 is a very neat, easy to build and good looking little helicopter.
It would be better if the screen wipers were separate components and the intake guards were photo etch, but apart from that it is a rarity that you find a kit this pleasurable. I already want to do another.
