Well, I think the instruction set is miles ahead of the Estes stuff back in the day. I always thought Centuri instructions were MUCH clearer and well laid out than the Estes ones were. Maybe that is just me. But the 3D graphics go even beyond that and look very nice, plus most importantly, help in better illustrating the assembly process.

With all you have to do to turn out a given kit, I'm sure anything that can help streamline the process is welcome. In this case, it leads to an even better product, so win-win there.

Bottom line, a nice kit and I wanted to let others know that as well.
