I am in the process of finishing mine now. I had originally covered it with monokote and was going to paint the red and black, but since I stink at putting on monokote, I ripped it off and covered the open bays and control surfaces with super Coverite sealed with nitrate dope. I am just finishing up the glassing (.75 oz and EZ Poxy). I also bought a fiberglass cowl from Stan's, the one supplied with the kit just got the best of me trying to figure out how to get it together right. I installed a Saito 180 because I had one laying around from plane that bit the big one a while back (hope it runs). I also put the Robart struts and a Slimline smoke unit. I will try to get pics later if you are interested. It went together fairly easily, with a few exceptions. Wait till you get to the sheeting of the rear fuse. Also make provisions for the charging plug while the fuse is still going together, the fuse around the fuel tank and servo/receiver area is double walled. So just cutting a small hole in the fuse side for the charger won't work. If you get in jam or have a specific question, don't hesitate to ask, I will try as much as I can.
