I have built 3 of the Maratake kits and have 3 more (Staggerwing too) still in boxes.

If you have a few kits under your belt, you will have no problems. Lots of planking to make the round fuselage. My Bearcat was similar construction and it took about a week of solid nights to get the fuselage planked.

You'll find that it's actually an enjoyable experience when you get it done and those Maratake kits come out so pretty.
