I had the original Kitmaster 9F a million years ago, and the fit up then was good, now it is a less so due to parts being distorted. Nonetheless, I have enjoyed taking on the challenge and the finished result is well worth the effort.

Item came with everything crammed into a plastic bag. (No box) It wasn’t even in a jiffi bag. The instructions, one side of one A4 shy. Very sparse and no painting guide or instructions.

These kits are from old moulds so the quality is not that good but they are the only ones on the market and with a bit of work they can look really good

Had a problem reading instruction even with my glasses could not see numbers on smaller parts, had to scan on to computer and enlarge instruction

The packaging states that these kits were originally launched by Rosebud /Kitmaster over 50 years ago and later purchased by Airfix. Due to the age of the tooling some flashing and slightly mis-moulded parts will arise. I found the parts were easy to clean up and only one or two pieces were slightly warped. The instructions which consisted of an number of expanded sketches were a bit basic.... and small! There was no painting details so some research is required, however, there are plenty of photos of Evening Star on the Internet. That withstanding, the model is well detailed and was a joy to make and well worth the effort
