Jest to pierwszy model z firmy Heller, który składam. Elementy plastikowe są niskiej jakości, źle odlane i źle spasowane. Farby dołączone w starter secie znajdowały się w instrukcji na liście kolorów dodatkowych, a kolorów podstawowych producent nie załączył. Do tego były one wyschnięte i po prostu niskiej jakości. Na domiar złego zestaw jest zdekompletowany - brakuje jednej wypraski koniecznej do skończenia modelu.
