Is it worth getting?

Yes, particuarily if you like the model.

Does it have good peices?

yes, particuarily for black little 1x1 rounds with flanged ends.  This set
has two, they make the gun barrel ends.  Like the ones in the harry potter
sets only not orange.  Also if you dig brown plate panels this is the set
for you.  Not very many printed bricks mind, the numbers, tail insignia and
English circle emblems are stickers.  (er, what else...)  Oh, yeah  brown
technic axles.

I don't know how rare they are but the brown propellor pieces are kinda nice.

Just wanted to know before I make my Christmas list.. :-)

It is a nice kit, very detailed.  Just one gripe, this baby packs tons of
torque, when you spin the props, the engine spins with it.  I thought  it
was kind of a cheap maneuver but it does look good and there certainly are
ways to work around it if you want the prop to spin freely.

Hope that helps

(...) Wasn't this an intentional part of the design? I had thought that the radial engines of that era rotated around a central shaft just like the model. Mike (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
