Customer reviews from Japan:

China Air Force specification can also be produced

Gladiator is the last compound league fighter in the UK. It was truly an old style at the outbreak of the Second World War, but some of the troops were active. Aircraft exported to China are also engaged in the Japanese army. Merit International is an emerging manufacturer in China, apparently kit development seems to be done by trumpeter, the style of kit and instruction book looks a lot like trumpeter. The gladiator of this scale has a kit of Roden, but this kit is assembled more simply, this one is suitable for making it easy to make it. On the other hand, since details where details are inconspicuous are omitted boldly, it may be better to choose Roden for those seeking more precision reproduction than ease of assembly. However, I think that there is a sufficient sense of precision necessary for this kit. The fitting of the parts is very good, I felt that even beginners can make it with confidence. The trouble is that only the control stick of the cockpit was tightened. It was confirmed that attachment of the upper wing and the lower wing which are most uneasy in the biplane machine Plamo can be installed without almost adjusting and without distortion. Expression of the airfoil of the airframe is also good feeling. However, because the quality of the plastic is somewhat brittle, it is caution to break small parts. Because there is no placement diagram of the tension line attached to the biplane machine in the instruction sheet, those who want to reproduce the tension line need to refer to the box picture and to investigate by oneself. (There is a tension line map in Roden) Marking is unusual for two types of British Air Force affiliated machines belonging to silver paint before World War II, including Chinese Air Force belonging during the Japan-China War. In the Chinese Air Force aircraft, the shooting down mark of the Japanese aircraft is marked. I think that it is an optimal kit for introduction of a biplane machine plam as it is a kit that can be completed very easily if it does not try to reproduce the tension line.
