Either way, this is a good model for anyone. It's tiny and really easy to construct. The only problem I had was with the secondary hull. The two pieces didn't fit right until I cut the alingment pins off.

The plastic is molded in the color of the ship so (theoretically) no painting was required. Since there's no painting guide and the "decals" are already on it, I don't think that Revell ever intended it to be painted.

Since the detail is poor, painting certian items (windows, nacelles, deflector dish) would help make the model come alive. I plan on doing it myself. As for the rest, there's a cheap base included and it does the job.

Overall, it was worth it (should be, if all you paid was a quarter! - Ed.). Finding it wasn't easy, since the kit is now discontinued. If you find one, get it...it's a boat load of fun that fits in your pocket, and is the perfect size for all sorts of dioramas.
