Now this is one serious hunk of metal -- it's nearly twice the size of a Dragon 190 and easily twice the weight! (see pic, bottom right of page) I
suppose what IXO lacks in attention to detail it makes up for in metal content a little bit....This is another model we accept because it's highly
doubtful anyone else will bother to make one, which is my IXO mantra. That said, this 335 is one of IXO's better efforts.
The paint scheme appears to be wrong, but I'm by no means an expert on this bird. (I've only flown it in CFS 3 and if the real thing was
anywhere near as powerful as this, good thing it didn't make it off the assembly line in time for Germany!) The fit and finish are fairly good, and
up/down gear options (with doors) are included. The gear is a bit wobbly, however, which is pretty much the IXO norm. Also, like most IXOs, the
mold lacks the finer details and polish you get from the likes of Corgi, Dragon, and Hobby Master.
If you collect IXOs, however, this one is definitely worthy of some hangar space. Recommended.

She may be ugly, but the design was efficient. I believe it would have been the fastest
prop-driven fighter in WWII if it made it the skies in time. It packed a punch, too.
