I just built this kit 3 or 4 months ago. Just look at the pretty pictures to assemble it. If you are doing the PE when you do the rear flight deck assembly ... I had a great deal of trouble here and would recommend attaching teh deck BEFORE you do the PE railings on it. I had a lady of a time with them coming loose while trying to get that put onto the hull. Go slow and do a lot of small sub assemblies. It is a difficult kit but the directions are sound but if you use the kit PE check and recheck before you do some stuff as trying to put PE into small crevices is a challenge. I cursed a lot and screamed and yelled even more, but it is a marvelous looking kit when finished.
