I bought this for my son for Christmas and he was so excited about it he actually got started painting. He finished the painting and was excited about assembly, but these pieces don't go together and the instructions are misleading. The main body wouldn't glue up well even with a ton of extra super glue gel. In the words of my son, 'It is a total piece of crap'. He is still putting it together, even though it doesn't fit. If I had known it was this bad I would have bought a more expensive model from a better company, so, hopefully, you won't make the same mistake I did.
