I didn't mean literally read them like a book. They are clearly illustrated to the point a child could follow them. Beyond basic equipment, model building doesn't get much simpler than connect part 18 to part 19. As long as you look at them carefully you'll be fine and worse comes to worse, you could just order replacement parts and decals from Hasegawa. Also,use perfect plastic putty if seam lines are a problem for you. You can easily wipe of excess with a damp cloth rather than forcibly sand it and details off the part.

Read the instructions.

Not sure if I should wait for the DYRL version or scan, vectorize, and recolor this one.
