Approximately how many pieces and how much assembly time?

Well, this is a fairly small part-count model... there are two large parts (the upper and lower hulls), two more parts (plus clear "glass") for the cockpit exterior, the two gun turrets (with several small detail pieces for the guns themselves), the antenna module (which is five or six parts, plus a "retainer ring")... the side-walls (about eighteen parts total, I think) and the landing gear (which is fairly basic). The interior parts were not provided on the versions I owned. By contrast, the "Finemolds" version has literally hundreds and hundreds of (very small, intricate) parts. As for assembly time... well, that depends on how much effort you want to put into it. To just "slop it together" you could do the whole thing in an evening, with no real problem. If you want to paint it, super-detail it, light it, and so forth... you could spend as much time as you want to, weeks or even months worth of evenings. But to just build it "quick and dirty, out of the box," one evening (say, four of five hours, tops) would cover it... less if you use fast-curing solvent cement rather than standard "tube model glue."

Out of the box to assembly took about 10 minutes. After the first-time-set-up fumbling around, it will take you about 5 minutes or less to assemble.

Assembly is pretty easy. All pictures, no words. But pictures are clear and easy to understand. Take your time and go picture by picture (they are numbered). If you can turn a screwdriver and a wrench you can do this easily, it will take about 2 hours or so. You will need a phillips screwdriver and a 7/16 wrench or an adjustable wrench. Each step is really simple. It's just that there's about 20 of them. So think of it as doing 20 simple tasks.

There were about 8 pieces. The two sides and about 6 or 7 pieces on top. I did need my wife to help me put it together. A few of the assembly steps were a little awkward. You will find an electric drill or screwdriver handy.

I don't recall, but there are LOTS of parts. It will take you a while to put it together!

The machine come with all of the parts and a tool to put it together. I would say that it took me about 2 to 2 1/2 hours to put it together. The directions come with written instructions and a picture. There is a video that you can watch but I just followed the booklet. It says that assembly requires two people but I managed alone. I have put together other things before including furniture. I hope this was of help to you.

Well, the part count is more or less 150~200 pieces (counting the small ones too). And is not difficult to build but depends on the level of detail you want to put it (and will need a bit of sanding in some parts, but this is part of the hobby :-).

The assembly is tedious, but not difficult. Expect to take about 45-60 minutes.

Take your time and study the parts a bit before starting. There are some gotchas possible but I was able to put it together in about 30 minutes.

Also, please be aware - this piece requires A LOT of assembly. If you're by yourself, allow about 4 hours.

There is not much assembly. It comes mostly put together. You just have to put in some of the smaller pieces.

I thought it was easy enough to put together. I did the two of them in less than an hour. There are 6 pieces each if I remember correctly. The hardest part was aligning the round part between the four legs near the end of the legs but I still managed to do them without a man's help. They are very sturdy when assembled correctly.

Not difficult to assemble and takes 2-3 hours with the right set a tools. You will need help in lifting it once put together.

Took me roughly 30 minutes to assemble. Would be a lot easier if 2 people were to assemble it.

About six pieces. My son did it. He said it wasn't hard. You may need someone to help hold it while you put it together. .it took him about an hour and a half for all three pieces. He is very good at doing this. It might take you a little longer but he said it wasn't hard.

I assembled mine today and it took roughly 2.5 hours. I could have done it faster as I was also moving furniture around the living room to situate everything properly while i put it together.
