This is pretty neat. I've built a couple of their "silver plated" kits before, and they go together and look surprisingly good, this one should be really easy given the green motteled decals which are included. I wish they'd do this with a few of their larger scale kits. It makes it a lot easier to add a few shades of alclad for an easy "bare metal" looking finish.
