This kit was not the most difficult to build - just time, care and patience in aligning seams and making sure things were smooth was the hardest part. The painting was a bit more. Since there are a lot of foil and metallic finishes used it took more time to paint the kits than anything else. Thankfully while waiting for paint, glue or filler to dry, you have the figures and base to paint. These were a ton of fun to do- with washes, pastels and dry brushing to bring out the detail in both the figure and the molded moon display base. When done, you have a very nicely detailed model. Its not the most accurate, and the decals lack a ton - but there are aftermarket options. If you have the Dragon 1/72 Saturn V as well this kit makes a nice companion piece.
