I was lucky and got two of them, not at the same time though. My wife got me one for Christmas when they first came out, and I actually built it right away! The problem with the kit is that the wings droop as they are quite heavy. So I thought on the next one I build, I will take corrective action, so I got another one, put it in the stash, and finally last year built it. I used "Invisible" thread for rigging; it took quite a bit of tugging to get the wings right so they wouldn't droop, but it really turned out nice. I do hope they re-release it as it was a real work horse, went on to serve in an airliner capacity into the 20's and is an all around good kit. If they do re-release it, it would be nice if they would employ the 'cookie cutter' design for the lozenge on the wings. I think applying the lozenge and the rib tapes is the most tedious part of the build. Just for something different, I used blue tapes on this one too. Here is a picture of it.
