Good model, great directions. Use craft glue instead
I've bought pepakura kits from three different sellers now and this was my favorite kit to assemble, with some caveats.<br /><br />Pros:<br /><br />1. The best directions so far<br />2. The model comes with more than enough of a thin tape for affixing pieces together, which makes this model a very quick assembly, but read the cons<br />3. the design is on par with every other kit<br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />1. The tape makes the model rather fragile. The directions do note this, and suggest using superglue for a stronger bond, but superglue has it's own problems. First and foremost it takes _forever_ to harden unless you use an accelerant, which aren't great to breathe in or get on your skin. Secondly, it will absolutely stain the paper a darker color if you get it anywhere you can see. It's undoubtedly the strongest reasonable option though, so if you go for it I would get the thickest stuff you can find. I prefer using some kind of craft glue - Aleene's or similar - which isn't quite as strong as superglue but dries much faster and doesn't really stain.<br /><br />2. The paper the kit is made out of is bog-standard cardstock. It's not bad but it does look a little plain next to the other kits.<br /><br />All in all I think this is a good purchase
