Now, when completed: I would summarize it as a big fuzz of work. Many parts were already missing from the original (e.g. those small screws, less than the half of the needed sum). Instructions are very loose. As accuracy goes: you are able to build something resembling a Colnago Mexico. Many quite big flaws of the kit (geometry issues, cranks, hubs, and the worst: seatpost, what I totally discarded) and many really tiny gems are contrasting this (quick release arms and their ringed counter-nuts) many more-or less-good parts in between (deaillurs, brakes, levers, headset). I recommend it ONLY for experienced modelers who are enthusiastic enough for the topic to fill up with all the patience! Fit is sometimes very tricky, and some parts are not for this bicycle, let alone, for this era! But the friend, who finally got it was very touched, so no work was wasted!
