Warhawk review
I recently purchased this kit and as of writing this review I have most of the wing constructed, I will say that this is not the first Brodak kit I have built. Brodak kits are of high quality, but as advertised the plywood parts are laser cut and the balsa parts are die cut, the plywood parts were barely cut through, the balsa parts were cut very well. There was a cap strip missing but no big deal to replace, as normal for most kits some of the instructions are subject to your own interpitation, this kit is definitly not for a beginner, but I would highly recommend it to experienced modelers.
