Steady hands and patiences
You will want at minimum 28oz of super glue, some form of clamps(i used chopsticks and string) and a Xacto knife, still putting mine together, waiting on more superglue and am looking to kit it with rc parts, its a great kit

Quick little run down
Super excited to build this! The model is die crush, not laser cut. The balsa wood quality seems ok, However it could be better. Plastic parts look fine. Overall it looks solid. For those who don’t know or have had built this model before, some parts have been removed because they are simply outdated.

It's pretty early to be reviewing the kit
It's pretty early to be reviewing the kit, because I'm only about 1/2 built. The parts all seem to be there and the directions are extensive, if not always clear to an old guy who hasn't built a stick plane in 30 or 40 years. Having a great time!

not for beginners but impressive
this is not for beginners. lots of plastic parts though they are necessary to achieve the look of the plane. the instructions are sometimes not at all clear though there is an online place with pictures of construction for some clarification. the look of the constructed body pieces is impressive.

The large scale of this kit makes it easer to build as I have slight tremors in my hands. The design and fit is good. I didn't like the flimsy Ness of some of the vacume blown plastic parts. I did have fun building my own landing gear out of spare plumbing parts. I also bought aftermarket wheels and props (fairly inexpensive). Finished model looks great. As I built it for display only, I laminated the fuselage to smooth it out.
