This is a fabulous kit. Can be built reflecting one of three time frame designs. Hence there are many extra parts left for kit bashing. If you are planning a city with this kit in mind, make it one the first you build so you have the extra parts on hand. Cardboard interior views are provided depicting the various time frames. Roof detail is excellent. Assembly is straightforward. I used this kit in conjunction with various other city building surrounded by Aurora Thunderjet car track as the main avenues. Accessorizes well. I used texture paint for the first floor and fascia to replicate granite. Supermask gel helps for the fascia masking.

The Ashmore hotel is a great looking building, which comes with several different first floor windows, doors, and awing to fit early or modern city scenery. Another great Walthers produce, the quality and detail is second to none. After opening the kit to inspect, there was virtually no molding flash, all the parts where straight, and accounted for. The directions were clear and easy to follow, but this project required some skill to construct. Lots of pieces and chooses to make in windows, doors, and awing selections. I recommend dry fitting all parts before starting the project due the large number of parts. The large windows in front provided me the opportunity to create an interior scene to add some uniqueness to the project. Overall this is one of my favorite projects, due to it great details and colors of the building exterior, window treatment, first and second floor scenery, and roof accessories. I would recommend this kit to anyone for any city scenery.

I purchased 3 kits to resemble a skyscraper 24 story building. you will need to cut apart the top section & bottom section of the building to combine all 3 kits to make 1 large building. i found it necessary to use (super glue accelerator) and super glue when i assembled this kit. if you are planning to combine 2 or more kits there is instructions included in the kit explaining how to do so. i would also recommend Walther's roof details for this building. Nice rich detail, 1900's /1950's to modern era you choose.
