I start by saying I have been building models since around 1980. That being said, this is the worst model I have ever had the displeasure of building. The directions are horrible at best with little or no attention to showing final assembly of part or how they go together. The parts are nearly impossible to remove from the sprue without breaking. The PE parts are ok but many of the part that are PE should have been molded in plastic as bending them into the proper shape is neigh unto impossible. I needed a 35th skid steer to make a diorama for my son and that is the only reason I didn't smash it with a hammer.
