I have built 2 DC kits, the Tsunami and the F-20 tiger shark. Both kits built pretty easily and light but i suggest you have some building experience prior to building one. There was some carving for the nose sections, nothing a razor plane couldn't handle pretty quick. Direct connection copyrights were bought out and a company named Juno now produces 3 of the kits: f-20, FA-18 hornet and the Tsunami. A 60 sized Tsunami is due to be released this summer, which i am looking forward to.
