Out of the box built. I thought it should be just for fun, but I was wrong. Little fun was here.

Lovely work!

Very nicely done.
I take it from your comments that this was a problem kit ?

A very nice result despite the trials.

Generally there were no major problems with assembly. The main parts fits quite well. Some troubles were spotted on details. The panel lines vary in their deepness and thickness. Many panel lines on joint between fuselage halves disappeared - unfortunately the ventral part was very heavy lined up!
More issues were with applying the decals. Very thick film, markings with many print errors (some noticeable shifts in colour positions) and not quite correct with reference pictures. I have read the second edition got a proper Cartograf decals!

Looks pretty good.

Thanks for the info - hopefully the 2nd edition, and future kits, will eliminate the errors.

Second edition has got not decal printing quality enhanced only, but covers a new set of markings - different aircrafts and countries. There is set of mask added as well. The plastic parts are the same, so average skilled modeller can make a nice kit with good markings. Anyway I still would not recommend this kit for beginners.
