I'm about 2/3 done on the Middle East version and a few tips I can pass on: read the instructions, then re-read them. Re-read them again. There are a few assemblies which need some thought and back and forthing to figure out what goes where and in which sequence. Dry fit absolutely everything. The fit is generally good, but the hull plates are all beveled which means you will need to test fit and glue as you go.
The plastic is a little on the soft side so do take extra care removing small parts from the sprues and keep an eye out for warped fine parts such as the nose frame. All in all these are neat kits and will reward the patient and careful modeler.
