I built that kit and it worked. I don't use it much, but it does work.
The regen thing is a bit finicky. Guess that is par for the course and
gives it character. Kit went together easily enough. The copy on
the "destructions" is a bit fizzy - like it was made from a copy of a copy,
but they are ultimately clear enough. Google around for a couple of
web sites where some guys discuss slight modifications in the build
process, parts, etc; and for some tips on avoiding various difficulties
putting it together.
Anything specific I can add... please feel free to ask.
Happy Trails.
