Great model and wonderful detail. I had little to no trouble with decals or instructions. There is a lot of painting on this model. A lot of it and I'm not kidding. It's also a decent size model too. There are a zillion decals as it includes the battle damage ones as well and you can build another version of the starship as well with a couple of extra parts. I recommend doing most of the sub assembly, painting and decaling before you do final assembly due to the size. Definitely need super glue that is fast drying for the final assembly as the model is too big for slow drying model glue. The saucer appears to sit level and the nacelles appear to follow suite well.
