This is a beautiful Kit, one of my favorites from Estes. This kid is a little bit more advanced, but not that tough. The decals are amazing and really make it pop!

Fun to build - flies great

I've built two so far. Overall construction is fun - nothing too difficult. The challenge was with the decals. There are a lot of them, so take your time, but the end result is a great looking model that always turns in a nice flight.
