Very challenging but worth the effort
Firstly, UGears are a wonderful company with exceptional customer service, including free parts replacement if you break a component. This is the 4th model/puzzle I’ve completed and even though the Saturn V rocket contains more individual parts I found this model more challenging.As with all such models, it’s vitally important to thoroughly read all of the instructions and take extra care when it comes to the orientation of the pieces, which can have slight variations between the front and back that will create a major issue later on if not corrected in the moment. The pieces are very exacting and precise. Take time to remove each piece carefully and sand any rough edges. On this model you require a lot of wax where indicated so don’t miss this step. The construction of the stand took almost as much time as the shuttle itself, the supplied fishing line creates the “floating effect” with the shuttle counterbalanced on the X and Y axis. It’s very stable once you get it right but your patience and care will be rewarded with a really beautiful and satisfying end result.

It's a real challenge, but worth it!
The media could not be loaded. I've built several wood model kits from various companies, and this one was the most challenging so far. Take your time and be especially careful of the rear landing gear. The precision of the parts in these kits never ceases to amaze me.

INSTRUCTIONS
Difficult to assemble. Follow the instructions exactly. Look for numbered pieces on different sheets.

Fun!!
Fun,Start building other wooden models before trying to build this one. Once you have the skills, this model is amazing and so much fun to build.

Have crazy glue on hand
It has two components that are impossible to install and the need to be superglued. The installation of the nylon wire is difficult. I broke several parts , they do not have extra, so it's difficult. One component is wrongly designed. Impossible to install without braking the prung. Ots a 8 out of 10 for me. Still I like it alot . But disappointed that prices are simply in the wrong installation step
