I am attempting to build this kit...but its an absolute nightmare.

First...no instructions. The 3D diagram is just about useless in my opinion.
Second...the number of strangely distorted and oddly shaped pieces is ridiculous. Since the craft is same on either side, you would expect some sort of mirror image parts...but the strange difference in parts from either side results in a lot of frustration and an oddly shaped craft.



After much hair pulling, I have managed to cobble together something that sort of resembles the martian craft...but it will require a lot of surface puttying to fill in some gaps, voids and strangely distorted edges! lol


I know I am still something of a novice, but this kit needs a major rework! And since I have yet to see an update, a photo of a completed model or even a set of instructions...I assume that no-one else has been dumb (or brave) enought to try it?

sorry, to be so harsh...but this model has really frustrated me!

so...can anyone point me to some info about using surface fillers, putties, etc...I would really like to see if iI can make this model work.
