this kit has no flash at all every piece fits nicely. it is not a kit for beginners a lot of small pieces and small decals. you will need the right tools and supplies to build this kit. you need a good knife, side cutter, and tweezers. the glue I used was Tamiya liquid cement both types and Testors cement for the painted parts. you need good small paintbrushes. use only Tamiya paint you will need x1,x2,x10,x11,18,x32,xf1,xf2,xf20, and xf56 as well as clear orange and clear red they tell you to use ts34 spray paint I used xf flat yellow and overcoated with clear x22 I feel it works better on a kit like this I will be buying more of the 1/12 bike kits

Been waiting on this one for a while, now I finally got my hands on one. I think I may have to buy a back up. This is definitely one of the classics. Very good build
