Dryfit is not just the brand name of a battery. It is the essential part of nearly all model kit making. It was one of the chief pleasures I had as a kid with the kits. When you dry fit a model you get to play with it far longer than just gluing it together.
The Heinkel 70 is and ICM product – perhaps produced in Germany but probably still moulded in Kiev. I do not decry it for this, as i have built ICM planes before:

It was surprisingly satisfying, and the price was sensational – $ 5.00.
I am warming to the current kit as the dry fitting has gone well. There was a little trimming needed on the cockpit tub, but once that was done the thing fell together.

I live in hopes of not needing filler for the fuselage or wing roots. And full marks to ICM/Revell for the way the horizontal stabiliser is in one piece and effectively locks the fuselage together in the rear.
