Overall this is a good kit but it has some very delicate parts, even for N-scale. In particular the posts. Two broke and one flew to nowhere. I was able to repair the two and make a suitable replacement for the lost one. The kit has some really nice detail, but the seams left a lot to be desired. Weathering will definitely improve the overall look. I will be placing mine under a large oak tree so I'm okay with the worn out look. One detail that I really liked was the way the paint didn't fill in all of the pores of the wood--it actually improved the look to me. I wish I'd known about how delicate the posts were so I could have been more careful, but I am happy overall.
