This kit is an interesting build due to its historical value. Not a fan of a two piece hull (lazy?). Came out very well though and I am pleased with the end result. Level 2 I believe only refers to the number of parts. Personally, everything went well except for the antenna. Took me five tries to get it done. Tried their thread, then stretched sprue, then EZ Line. Finally succeeded with the EZ Line. Also the stack support cables gave me fits too. Used stretched spue on them with success. At my level, I wouldn't call this a Level 2. Great project though. Take your time and enjoy. As they say at Hobbylinc....stay calm and hobby on.
