As other reviews have mentioned, the instructions are lacking. You need to use your imagination and think outside of the box when assembling certain aspects of this model. If you don't enjoy a challenge, or working with miniatures, this kit is not for you. It also is not for children.This was my first wooden model, and I was very suprised by how well it turned out. The planking was definitely a challenge, and you will need to experiment and do some research to find what methods work for you. Do some research and watch some videos before you attempt this.If you take your time, this can be a very entertaining, fulfilling and inexpensive hobby. If you're used to plastic models, with detailed instructions and snap together parts, you won't enjoy this project.
