As others have mentioned it's a good kit but you have to take some time to line up the panels on the lower hull. Detail is very nice as Tristar used the Modelkasten style for the wing nuts, bolts and OVM tool brackets. The only thing that you need to do is to add/scribe the ridges on the sides of the external mantlet. Also the tracks are of the later type with the taller guide horns. You may wish to replace with a set of MK's (SK-57) or just leave it.
