Hello,this is a humongous kit that comes in a smaller box than expected so it won't take up much stash space.The hull comes together In four pieces,bottom two and top two and then the bow and sturn join in middle.This is where you get to do a lot of filling and sanding.Make sure you sand with a block the longer the better.Everything else fits nice and I chose not to get a brass propeler,the kit one was just fine.The kit gives you a number of choices to choose from l built the ill fated skorpion.In conclusion Mobieus released an awesome show piece that's a real eye catcher!!!
