I already have one of these cranes and can tell you from experience that if you rush through building it, YOU'LL HATE THE CRANE. So slow down, have a sharp X Acto blade (that you can here or local). Really, the kit is so simple that my 10 year old could build it. I'm so impressed with the model that I have another one coming in with the next two days and will be ordering at least 5 more. Yes the parts are small, and this is where you need to take your time. Do that, and you'll have a blast. As with all Kibri truck and crane kits, there are extra parts that don't belong. Don't panic. These are a free bonus that will come in for future projects. I hope this helps.
