This was a breeze to build. No issues in parts fit or anything. The decals as typical bandai are tough, so after trying to use them with Solvaset, I opted to paint the blue on instead. The pod will NOT fit in the nose of the Falcon with the engines installed, but CAN if you sand down the engine bells 2mm. I also glued and blended the 2 base pieces together to make one display from them. Its a different look to the familiar Falcon, but cool in its own right
