(2015 build, posted for reference purposes, since fellow BMers have their eyes and hands on some of these, text from 2015 too): Modelers of the World: Hear you! Hear you! No more having to totally rework the venerable but ultimately atrocious Arfix DH88! SBS from Hungary has released this beauty of a kit of a much needed up-to-date kit of this iconic racing machine. It is a resin kit, but of very good sort with excellent technology and properties. This is no doubt an outstanding kit, it is a new class of kit altogether, an order of magnitude above all model aircraft resin kits I have personally seen or built made by a commercial manufacturer. It will not assemble itself, though, so it will still require patience, care, accuracy and a steady hand. The price is fair, especially comparing it with other resin kits that are more expensive ( as much as three times more expensive) and not even nearly as good, not to mention with parts not keyed but with butt joints. The SBS kit has slot and tongue, or peg and recess interlocking devices, as in any normal injected styrene kit. A plus for many modelers not very happy with short-run kits devoided of such features. There are a few points that need attention, and they are described in the building article. So check that if you are interested following the link Congratulations SBS Model from Hungary, a job beautifully done. You can see in the following images that I have added the three small weight balances on rudder and elevators:
