That's a fine-looking Bat.

Is it more or less straight from the box, and were there any major issues with fit? I've got the Jach kit stashed away and have more than once considered having a go at it.

Do it Jukka!

I've built the Bat as well and I recall no real problems with fit.
Just try to keep that very thin, fine pitot tube from getting bent ;)

I remember only two problems:
1. Wingroot stubs were not quite symmetrical side-to-side.
2. There was some cockpit part that had zero chance of fitting in there. I forget now what it was, but something got either left out or filed down drastically.

OT, but gearheadrandy, I like your signature.
Being partly of Slovak ancestry I have a soft spot for the SVZ and any a/c in its marks.

Gearheadrandy: good to know it's fairly trouble-free.

Harold K: I'd very much like to build the Bat but before I get round to doing it I should finish at least a few of the models I've started...
