I built this for a friend who loves the Godzilla flicks. It was probably the biggest figure kit I have ever done. I believe it was first produced some years back and this is a re-pop. The old technology is evident as someone else said too. The gaps between most of the appendage parts and the back fins are very bad. For the fins I liberally doused the joint area with liquid cement which flowed the plastic together fairly well. The appendage gaps I mixed of Apoxie sculpt and filled in the seams and then added creases to the Apoxie to simulate the rest of the skin area. It was a big job to paint and I started with a color that didn't look right. I did some Googling and found better pictures and went with the light black color and then airbrushed white on the fin tip areas. In the end it came out very nice and my friend was pleased. My recommendation would be if you have the shelf space and love Godzilla and don't mind spending more than normal effort it is a decent kit and definitely large. To just throw together though you should probably pass if you want it to turn out well.
