The review is in Polish, so for me no problem, but I think there are still some members of BM who has not learn this language, yet 

However, the google translator is now improved, so I hope it will be easy to get for all.

In my view, the most important features of inbox reviews are quality and quantity of photos. The text, regardless of the language, is always subjective, but the photos allow to decide whether the particular product is worth any further interest or not.

I acquired this kit a month back and out of box , it looks excellent as far as short run kits go. The cockpit appears to be well detailed , very well in fact and the panel lines are crisp and thin.

According to ksmodel.pl Sword wil re-release their 2 in 1 Arado Ar-196-A2 & Sea Gladiator.

Rather typical, last year I asked Sword if they had plans to re-release it. The answer was no. So some weeks ago I finally managed to find one from Japan, and although the price of the kit  was good, the expensive  shipping doubled it.
