Anybody got an (informed) opinion on this kit? Can't find any reviews on my
usual sites and would like to build one if it isn't too painful.

Jim-

No cockpit so paint the inside of the clear parts. You may find it difficult
to blend the cockpit parts to the fuselage so there will be a definite
outline of the clear parts.
don't cut the cargo door out unless you want to really work on your putty
and sanding skills.
landing gear is OK but I geuss detail isn't a string suit in 1/144
Read that there seems to be an issue as to the engines but I forget where
and what- maybe how close the fan blades are to the edge of the cowling or
something.
