While the fit of parts is generally good, seem lines are difficult to eliminate and you may end up spending hours of what should had been a breeze project. Nonetheless, I found that to make this project less tedious, the two kits provided should be built consecutively. You will then, be able to enjoy the build of the second kit with a fresh memory of the problem areas and respected solutions.

Enjoy the photos.
