this is a very simple kit to build. Only around 40 parts. It is a quick build, once build you will be surprised about the size of this model. The decals are a minimum, but there is a dash board and the co-pilot even has a map that shows a river on the flight plan. If you take the time to detail the painting you can make a very nice model of this kit. Some parts are even not showed on the build plan, there is a spare fuel tank, just you must figure it out yourself were it goes. If you want a more detail build you would need to spend more. But all in all I was happy with this build. Very good kit for a starter builder.
