I was pleasantly surprised when I started to assemble this model. the parts easily fit together and require little cement. The decals are very detailed and all are clearly identified as to where they are placed. It has very nice detail, but with some added paint it is even better (although painting is not required). This is a nice project for a young modeler or even one a father (or mother) can buidl with their children. Highly recommended of there is a spot on the layout for it,
