The pylon to secondary joints are all self aligning, and should require little more than glue squeeze-out to fill the gap. The primary to secondary hull joint might need just a bit of putty. Looking though my various references, I'd say the detail is pretty darn good. However, it looks to be proportionally correct when compared to the drawings in the same book. The instructions are more of a tip sheet pertaining to the assembly of resin components, but as I've indicated, with only 4 self-aligning parts, instructions really aren't necessary.
Assembly consists of gluing three joints.
I do think I'll probably pin the joints with brass rods to prevent any possibility of drooping. There is no painting guide provided. However, the best reference materials I have, were found online at Starship Modeler. Like many of you, I don't have much free time. So when I evaluate a kit, I consider how much time would it cost me to research, plan and subsequently scratch build the same thing.
