Good deal for what it is

I really enjoyed putting this together, with the pretty painted plastics, rubber, metal and leather parts. It felt quite cohesive while you get to use all those together. It works!
The only downside I had was that it didnt quite challenge me, it took about 4 hours with small breaks for snacks.

Just okay

Overall, it turned out nicely, but:
1. The side edges can’t be attached; the pieces are too short.
2. The leather pads on the wings didn’t attach completely.

Very cool kit

A few things I learned building this:
The wires are VERY THIN. The instructions tell you to route them around the screw holes because of this. Definitely be super careful with that. I accidently snapped one of the power wires, and had to strip and fix it.
There are some VERY small parts in this kit. since the "body" is only 3" long or so, some of the screws and nuts are quite small, watch out for small parts and take your time. On the good side, almost everything is screwed together. I think only the "arms" and "legs" snap on.
The wings are very delicate. If you have a sprue cutter, it's very helpful for cutting the wings out. (also great for the plastic pieces) Also, the tabs that are folded down to join the 2 wing pieces are very small and delicate.
Everything else is very straightforward, if you're an experienced builder, the instructions are easy to follow. If you are new, just take your time, and you'll be good.

Overall great model

Looks very good. Directions were easy to follow and I had a great time building it. Only tough parts were when some very small pieces had to be used. My only gripe was the pistons used for the motor. I wish they had come in a bag and not attached to a plastic board like the other parts. The smallest bur on one caused issues for the motor. Overall great model will definitely get one of the other ones when I get more money. Took about 4.5 hours to assemble

F#ck!ntastic model

This is a fantastic snap together model with some screws. It is very fun to assemble and looks great when done. Some of the screws were a little difficult to fit in, and I didn't try to force them, so they remained a bit proud where they looked flush in the instructions, but other than that, the build could not have gone better.
