My latest big scale aircraft is this Trumpeter one. Very good kit wtih great decals. I originally considered doing the Bulgarian version, but in the end I chose the German markings.
One neat trick that will give more life to the model, is to remove the flap lip, which will let you glue the flaps in the extended position. Slats are also dynamic.
The kit is great, except for the landing gear. Trumpeter had the bright idea of dividing the landing gear legs into a top and bottom. The bottom gets glued into the well, and the tops are added over two locating pins, which is a very loose assembly. When they dried, they were everything but aligned, so I removed one and reglued it with CA and regular modelling cement. Had it not been for this type of assembly, I would have given the kit a 10/10, but it’s a 7 for me.
