This is a joy to build and paint! It is not for a beginner! Taking plenty of time to build and reading the instructions are a must, prefitting is also a must. I haven't had such a good time building a Car in a long time and will be building more, Especially ones from Tamiya they take care in making the best kits and packaging them in their boxes. It's no wonder they are one of the BEST kit makers in the world. I highly recommend this kit for those that build top grade models with detail!!!
