You will need patience and skill to complete this model. Materials in this kit include plastic, card and electronics for the working lit elements. However it does make a lovely model. There are some small parts which you must be careful not to break when removing from the plastic sprues - best to use snips. Although this kit comes with paints & brushes worth investing in a better quality brush. Paint as many of the parts whilst they are still attached to the sprues - makes easier for handling.
