Nice big kit. Takes time to build. Though it can be built with some of the hatches open, the instructions show all of them in the closed position. I closed mine up. Doing so saved a lot of time.

LOTS of PE. A PE bending tool is a big help. None of it was too horrible, but a few pieces could have probably been molded in plastic. Make sure to bend PE-A26 with the two ends meeting as shown in the drawing in Step 32. If you don't, you'll end up with a nasty visible seam.

Part D15 sat high in my build. Since most of the major subassemblies have a tab I'm not sure why that happened. A bit of putty filled the void.

In Step 19 the part that holds the rear license plate is not called out. It shows it suddenly attached in the middle of the sequence but never references it. Also, Step 26 has you make some subassembly with parts P6, P9 and PE-B5. I had no idea where this went so I left it off.

If you want something unusual on your shelf, this is the kit for you. Recommended if you're not expecting a weekend build and have experience with PE.
