The kit is quite easy to put together, however the instructions leave a lot to be desired.
The instructions are not the easiest to understand and, unless I am mistaken, completely wrong at points. I found it easier to use the instructions as more of a rough guide for making small parts of the kit, as they seem to want you to do things such as put the legs on back to front?!
The model itself looks good, however some of the connections are quite loose, so some use of glue or varnish may be advisable with the finished product.

The kit is easy to assemble from a technical point, however the instructions are not perhaps as good/accurate as they could be. They rely on a numbering system, where each joint is numbered. The idea begin that you start by assembling the parts that share "Joint 1", then move on to "joint 2" etc. However in a number if cases I found that after putting a joint together I was unable to put the next joint together without first taking the previous one apart again. It was as if "16 and 17" (for example) had been transposed.
Quite a few of the joints (25%?) are very lose, causing parts to fall off when you turn the model over to put the next part on, while a few (4 or 5?) are so tight that the included sandpaper had to be used to open the joint up slightly to enable it to be assembled at all. A tube of clear, quick setting, hard (rather then flexible, such as UHU) glue would be personally recommend to secure the bits prone to falling off.
The parts come pre-cut in 4 sheets of plywood. Great care has to be taken when pressing the pre-cut parts out of the sheets, otherwise the finer details (corners etc) are apt to snap-off (de-laminate) leaving part of the corner (one of the plys) still attached to the base-board. Again the glue comes in handy here to re-attach the broken off bit back on.
The above minor flaws mean the kit is probably not best suited to those who get easily frustrated when things do not work (or are not understood) easily, or to those who are not prepared to take things slowly.
Once assembled it would be easy to take apart into sub-sections (head, left front leg, right front leg, left neck, centre neck, right neck and so on) which then could be further taken apart and permanently glued together. At this point those with an artistic streak could paint/decorate the model before re-assembling the sub-sections. Trying to paint the model after assembly without first gluing together would not be recommended due to the likely-hood of bits falling off as it's turned over to paint the underside.
The finished Dragon is about 24 inches long and about 10 inches high, and looks just like a larger version of the picture on the packet.
Without glue it is happy to stand without support, and is far less wobbly that the above comments would actually lead you to expect, but care needs to be taken when picking it up, as parts might fall off, especially if turned upside-down, as the design relies on gravity to hold it together.
If asked to rate for "value for money" I would give 10 out of 5, and looks I would give 5/5.
Should you buy this? Yes!
Is it Fun? Yes.
Does it look good once finished? Yes.
Is it perfect? No. (is this a problem? Also no!)
Is it Value for Money? Oh YES! Great fun! Looks nice, on the shelf next to my PC looking at me now.
