For this build I used the Academy 1/48 scale TOW Defender 500D the scheme is for the Israeli Ai Force. This kit did lack some details so there was some scratch building of the missing details.
In review, this kit has many fit problems especially around the side door, interior assembly, and nose pod. The kit also lacks a lot of details. The instructions have a good assembly flow. The only kit decals I used were the Israeli Air Force insignia’s on the sides. These went on very well. Overall I would consider this an average kit. I do not think I would recommend this kit mainly due to the fit issues. Granted not all kits are perfect but the fit on this kit was more bad than average.
