Yes, the kit captures the Horch's external proportions and panels well, making it suitable for museum style or shelf display when finished with appropriate paint schemes.
Assembly time varies with skill level. Expect several evenings for a neat, painted build. Allow extra time for painting, decaling and weathering to achieve a refined result.
Handle finished models by the base or chassis, avoid direct contact with delicate painted surfaces and store away from direct sunlight to preserve colours and glue joints.
