The parts are VERY tiny and delicate. They give you extra wheels in case you break any during assembly. I found that a very sharp hobby knife is the way to go with this. I suggest painting most parts before you assemble them. I made the horse's reigns from finely stretched sprue. It looked better than the tape suggested in the instructions. The kit provides a clear plastic strip to attach the horse to the buggy. I did not use it. If you want a sturdier model, use it and cover it with ground foliage when you put the kit onto your layout. When finished, I was really pleased with the result.

The pieces are accurate and very subtle. Sometimes it can be difficult to cut the pieces. Personally I prefer to first join the pieces and paint them later, although sometimes you can not. Once finished the model you really appreciate the delicacy of some parts that other companies prefer to build more robust.
