The kit is well boxed and contains a brief and interesting history of the aircraft, characteristic of all Classic Airframes kits. Although generally similar to the Classic Airframes CR.42 CN, the CR.42 AS (tropicalized, A.S. = Africa Settentrionale, Northern Africa) differs in the resin exhaust pipes, the under wing lamps and the top wing mounted generator (not included in this kit) as well as the sand-filter carburetor intake used on CR.42s at the beginning of 1941 for operations in North Africa. The kit is molded in soft gray plastic and the recessed panel lines are well proportioned with no signs of injector marks, mistakes or depressions in any of the moldings. The resin parts come in two separate bags. The first bag contains resin parts for the reduction gearbox-cylinder block, engine cylinders and the cockpit seat, cockpit floor, control stick and oxygen bottles. The second bag contains the AS carburetor intake, two bombs and alternative flame damping exhaust pipes for the Luftwaffe plane.
