Tips.
All assembled with mortice, tenons and dowels
No glue
Parts all numbered whilst in parts sheets.
Meticulous adherence to instruction, very careful selection of right part. Lots of parts very similar in look but slight nuances make a BIG difference. Select wrong part of fit wrongly (Murphys Law) and a few stages later on it will bite you!
Resulting have to disassemble and rebuild with the parts which are now no longer numbered!
If when fitting you feel the need to force it you will probably have the wrong part and as they are fragile they will fracture.
Recommend you spend no more than an hour at a time as the slightest loss of concentration on fairly detailed parts will result in errors that will bite you.
Other than that great fun to build and a quality kit.
About 12 man hours.
Enjoy
