I decided to start this kit now because if I didn't, I would never get around to it. So far, the kit assembles fairly well, but the instructions are lacking in the information area. Case in point. You get a choice for part G 50 or G 51, but for what reason? After about 30 minutes of searching the instructions, I found that that it goes to the rear landing gear doors. The instructions also do not show every place where a connection point between the two parts.

The instructions only indicate that there are three points of contact between the rib assembly and the airframe however, there are an additional three attachment points. As for the parts fitment and assembling of the frame it went together fairly well. more pics after I get the engines assembled and installed in the frame.
 
It looks very similar to the ZM kit Paul. I completely changed the build process for the frame as there wasn't any way that the parts would guarantee alignment with the top frame the way ZM had you assemble the frame. I used the top frame with selected middle parts to set up the assembly.
You might want to refer to my build here.
