This is ScaleWorx's 1/72 SAAF Denel CSH-2 Rooivalk multi-media kit, which was built mostly out of the box. Molded in blue resin, there are around 80 parts, plus two vacu-formed canopies, a photo-etched fret, and a small decal sheet. Packaging was excellent and the parts well protected (none of the parts in my kit were damaged).  The smaller parts were grouped together in multiple zip-lock baggies, and the larger parts wrapped in bubble wrap, all enclosed in a sturdy flip topcardboard box .  The casting of all of the parts were smooth and well refined, with only a few bubbles here and there (which were easily removed with a hobby knife or sanding stick), and nice petite engravings where needed.  The four page instruction sheet has three exploded view diagrams which show the major assembly sequences and locations of the various fuselage bits (there are a few vague areas, so have some photo references handy), plus a two-view color profile for the painting and decal guide.  Top and bottom view photo references will be needed for the upper and lower fuselage camouflage pattern.

More than 80 parts

A few scratch-building supplies such as brass rod and styrene rod will be needed, as you'll need to pin some of the major assemblies for added strength. As with most resin/limited run kits, the joints are of the flush type with no tabs/pins for positive location. Some of the rotor linkages/components need to be scratch-built from brass rod or small gauge wire as well. The resin in this kit is easy to work with in terms of the removal of the parts from the pour gates and clean up. A razor saw was used for the larger parts, while a hobby knife was used for removing the smaller pieces from their gates (a few passes with the back edge of the knife blade did the trick).  The seams and gaps were easily removed, in fact much easier than on a styrene kit (just go slowly, sanding too fast will result in misshapen parts and unwanted voids). I used Model Master Red Glazing Putty for large areas, Micro Mark Crystal Clear white glue for spot filling, while Gunze Mr. Surfacer took care of all of the seams. Assembly started with joining the fuselage halves.  The fit here was great out of box, but I some how botched it when I epoxied the halves together which resulted in a large step over most of the length of the lower seam.  I used some styrene strip to level out the seam, and then filled over it with glazing putty.
