Lovely!

I built a Williams Bros one in ML-KNIL markings years ago.  Be nice to have an up to date version.

Yeah, the question is if the Azur kit will be better than the William Bros kit, at least for the price (WB is around $20US)

Does the Airmodel come with a resin wafer for the detailed parts?
