I built this kit several months ago and the ease of the build was a pleasure through out the process! I enjoy the history of the aircraft which is pointed out in many articles and the instruction sheet. There was no flash on the parts which made the easy of construction better. I recommend that close attention be paid to the landing gear as it looks a little complex but it is just a matter of following the instruction sheet which isn't too complex. I finished my model with acrylic paints and the decals supplied in the kit. I highly recommend this model for any level of experience with aircraft.
