Let's start by acknowledging The kit is beautiful, and saves these bad boys from a negative over all review. The kit instructions are needlessly complex to follow, the options it talks up are only able to be assembled in a small number of ways. The parts required for each model are spread over the sprus the numbered parts for a model seam to be randomly allocated both to the spru and the model itself. It took several hours to decode the options to make my choices and I felt my time had been disrespected by the difficulty in working it out and my intelligence insulted by the poor disguise of the massive limitations on the variation.
