This kit is fantastic for modelers of all skill levels. It is relatively easy to assemble, and provides authentic detail. However, if you are looking to get a good finish on the model, you may want to consider buying some of these items if you don't have them already. I would recommend getting glue that you can apply through a fine nozzle, as the model can be delicate to large sums of glue, and these can be difficult to fix. Next, some modeling putty would go a long way because there are some places in the model that don't fit great. Finally, decal setting solution really aides the decals on this model because they can be a bit bubbly and difficult. Airfix did a great job with this kit, and I, personally, have grown quite fond of their kits recently. Overall, this is a great model for all skill levels, and it exemplifies what modeling is about as a hobby, having fun.
