This kit, at least for me, was a challenge. I would not recommend this kit for a beginner (not that I'm an expert). As stated in another review, directions were not clear, mounting points for parts were scarce and extra parts that I had no idea what they were. It also took a lot of test fitting/sanding/trimming to get some parts to fit to my liking. That being said, sometimes that's just part of the hobby. I'd like to add more one thing. Because of some of the challenges I mentioned above, this kit took me on a totally different path of creativity to try something I had never done before, which is reflected in the pics I submitted. PROS: I can say I made this! CONS: I'm running out of display space!
