Trimming and making it glide adds to the skill level, as does a showroom quality finish. As for construction without a bunch of sanding and finishing, it is a pretty straightforward assembly. The Centuri version might be a little more involved without the laser cut parts and excellent instructions we grew accustomed to with Semroc.


The Centuri instructions were good too. Matter of fact, my impression on Carl’s kits was that he patterned his great instructions a fair amount after the well illustrated Centuri instructions.
