Rollie,

There's not much to do since it's an ARF. You need to glue the tail and nacelles on and install the engines and radio.

The wings are on tubes. The nacelles are bolted on to blind nuts pre-installed in the wing first. You mark the covering to cut away, remove the nacelles and cut the covering. Then you epoxy them in place, also using the bolts and screws at the rear tip. It's not a big project.

One thing I did is to replace the 5mm socket head bolts that hold the wing on with hex head bolts from Ace. Then I can use a ratchet box wrench. There isn't room for a 1/4" drive ratchet, but the box ratchet works great.
