The detail and quality of the plastic parts are good. Engraved lines and detail is very good! The resin parts supply a new nose with avionics that can be displayed with open hatches. There are also resin parts for some internal and external details, such as fairings and tailpipe.

The canopies are vacuformed in a rather thick plastic. There are 2 available if you screw one up. They will need some polishing and a dip or 2 in "Future" to look good.

Decals are nice and colorful, but I would've liked some Russian decals as well. The kit decals are all Chechian.
