Looks like a really neat set.
It's a bit of a shame there's nothing in the set for the wing wheel wells. But that's a is perfectly understandable omission as the only reasonable way of updating those wells would mean replacing the one-piece wings completely.

Just my typical modelerer's luck: a detail set appears just when you're in the middle of a build. I got the Pavla set (designed for some earlier kit) for my Zvezda MiG and those wheel wells needed some TLC to fit in.
Anyway, good see aftermarket parts released for this kit.

Wish they would release the wheels only- they are the parts of the Zvezda kit that are totally incorrect. The wheel bay upgrades are just unnecessary frills
