Dumas Brooklyn Tug: Hard build?

[Ryan]

Is this a kit for a beginner? I have experience building models but
not any wood kits. Thanks.

Build it and they will come..... ;)

It's not a killer. The glass hull takes a lot of the pain out of the
equation. Dumas' instructions are OK (Midwest's are better). Be
prepared for stuff that's not 'finished'. Cleaning flash off of metal
castings is normal.

Careful with your glue if you want a wood finish on it.....
