Picked this up on E Bay yesterday. I have been looking for any 87 at a decent price and finally managed to nab this one. Not sure when I will pick it up as I have it mailed to a friends place in the USA. He should have it by this coming Friday.
I have read the internet reviews and they all seemed pretty positive. Anyone here built it and if so how did you find it?

I've got the Revell re-boxing of the same kit Jeff, and it's very nice indeed, with good detail, although I have yet to build it.
A couple of areas are simplified, mainly the hinges and actuators for the ailerons / flaps beneath the wings, but these can easily be improved upon if desired. There's a detailed build in the 'Classic Modelling Guide - Luftwaffe aircraft in the BoB', which suggests that the kit goes together without problems, and concentrates on the addition of extra detailing.
Airfix are releasing a new tool 1/48th scale kit very soon, which looks excellent.

Jeff, Terry pretty much nailed it, though in my opinion, it's pretty basic for a Hasegawa kit. Lots of cockpit detail missing and, yeah I would have expected better on the wing actuators. See my build here.

If you see Kevin tell him I'm in camp and won't be home until Wednesday. Leave the parcel behind the shrubbery.

Shrubbery?
Nothing too fancy, maybe a low white fence around it ?
Notice that our Swettish Member for Glasgow mentions the Defiant in the plural - he's gone and bought a complete squadron !
