That looks like quite the task. I’ve never seen a kit like that before. Looking forward to you working your magic.!!!

Have fun with it!

It's a heavy, poorly molded beast!

I built mine about 10 years ago. As you have found out, the fit is wanting, The cockpit windows and aft fuselage
fit is atrocious requiring much grinding/sanding/filling.
The white metal on mine was poorly molded and very flashy.
I left the vac formed windows off, the fit was terrible and they sat way too far back.

The landing gear barely support the weight of it.

There is this injected molded kit, It's from the Ukraine so availability might be spotty.
I got mine from ebay. I think it was $50ish shipped.
