I bought that model a while ago and built it. It was a really good model in general, and was my favorite I've built but there were some fiddly parts. The landing gear is extremely fragile, I accidently cut one of the struts and had to melt it back together over a candle in order for it to support the plane. Also on my model the fuselage was ever-so-slightly warped so the halves of the fuselage didn't quite fit. This caused me a lot of trouble in attaching the nose to the fuselage. That's about all I can think of, but be careful whilst painting the nose rivets and supports so you don't paint over the glass. I used scotch tape to cover the clear plastic bits while I painted the paintscheme on. Good luck!
