While the model WHEN COMPLETED is fantastic to look at, it is too delicate to play with and the reason for the two stars. A B##### nightmare to assemble , to anyone with large fingers grasping these tiny parts will drive you nuts, as they tend to slip or go FLYING, &due to the small stature of each peice. The drawn instructions though clear enough can be vague at times especially if peices, though numbered, resemble other peices , my suggestion definitely remove only one peice at a time. Also I would suggest not bothering with 144th scale, pay a higher price and get A larger model , then you will alleviate the assembly problem due to the parts smallness. Apart from that the model is good to add to a collection , Just don't play with it.
