This is a fairly quick kit to build. Note it does have a lot of small parts so could be a little fiddly. I found some extra bits in the kit. ( 4 liferafts and 4 20mm cannons on a large mounting). Research online reveals that this kit is a spinoff from a larger kit Revell does of a 1/144 scale landing ship. As such, this kit would be useful for people wanting any extra vehicles to add to that kit.
