Fun but not easy to assemble
The wing channels were not the right size so I had to adjust them with a crafting knife, you better have experience with it. From the pictures it does not look like an easy build but in reality it's even harder, very fragile, with many parts that are easy to snap. But worth it! You will need a crafting knife, shortest one you can get, a glue, I used only superglue to give it a chance to stay in one piece while building it, and one thing not mentioned in the manual is a needle, for the thread/cables, get the one with an open eye, obviously. Have fun.

Bought this for a friend who really liked building it. Comes in a nice little wooden box

Highly recommended
I’ve absolutely loved building this model although I have to say it’s been challenging. You definitely need to read, reread, and reread again the instructions, as well as study the photos very very carefully. Even then there are a few omissions. Some of the pieces are very delicate and easily broken (thankfully easily repaired with wood glue and some patience) and some were difficult to detach from their backing sheet. With care and patience it builds up into a beautiful model. It’s also good value for money, at least at the price I bought it (prices seem to fluctuate).

Extremely Difficult Build Not For The Faint Hearted
Whilst this is a lovely model it it difficult to build and some of the parts are EXTREMELY fragile, I have broken some of the parts just trying to release them from the boards and have had to repair them or even fabriccate replacement parts. The instructions are very vague and sometimes trial and error is required before getting it right
