My friend John Montgomery purchased this kit to build, but after reading the reviews and looking through some build threads he decided it was too difficult for him and gave it to me to see if I was brave enough to try it. I am not sure "brave" is the right word, but "naieve" may be more accurate. The kit looks solid enough with lots of extra goodies in the box. There are two PE plates and two bags of cast resin parts. I did not take pictures of the sprues since I have already clipped "step 1" parts off, but the instructions show the sprue trees. I already clipped off some resin parts as well, breaking 2 of the delicate parts even though I was being extremely careful and nibbling away with the back of an Xacto blade. The joystick was repaired with a bit of brass rod, and superglue fixed the other.
This is the color scheme I am planning except it will have a white tail. I found a pretty good walkaround with the white tail and I like it.
