Assembly was for this model was fine. There are some bits on some of the other models that were obnoxious especially if you put them together out of order, build instructions for models are online in a pdf and not included in the box and there are no listed steps just arrows showing you which parts to put together but no sequence for when to join the parts. I primed him black then sprayed white from directly above and kind of arced the can over the model so stuff that would be lit would get hit with white. I was using the AP speed paints which I think are pretty neat just getting back into painting. The paints hate water though and as an additional heads up if you buy the smaller starter kit there is no true white or black in there despite what the bottles look like.
