I would recommend reading over these first. This kit IS awesome and deserves to be done right.

I agree there is a very nice step by step description of the construction at culttvman. It kind of assumes you know a good bit about modeling beforehand but its still pretty good. The guy went a but above and beyond with his puttying in my opinion, but I can't really argue with his result.. it really is an awesome model - and you're right for the price it's a steal.
