Hopefully it comes with a plastic alternative to all that PE!!! That looks like a nightmare to assemble all that PE!

The PE set is optional.
There are plastic versions in the box.

I struggle with PE because my hands shake.

What we really need would be that appropriate barracuda netting for this vehicle. I do hope Accurate Armor will come out with a solution here

Oh gee...slat armour in PE is my personal bugaboo as I tried it once with soldering only to fail miserably and having almost no luck with epoxies. I too would take a slight scale penalty to have one in styrene.

Sure looks good if everything is perfectly aligned and straight. That's a big if...
