I am an experienced kit builder. This one looks great and the pre-painting is nice. If you want something to put together and put on the table this will be great. However, the kit does not go together as well as other MDF kits I have used. It is like the slots and hole spacing was designed for a different thickness of MDF. I ended up cutting of quite a few tabs. This does not effect the look or strength of the model, but was annoying.
