+The models go together fairly easily - there aren't a huge amount of parts, but they are engineered very well, and for the most part are are undergated - not entirely of course, but the majority of the large panels are.
+Here's the ships as a quick dry-build - no sanding, parts not quite-pushed into final position, and minus some of the smaller super-structure parts; i.e. they'll be pulled apart again prior to paint:

+The engine intakes were left off as I //think// it should be feasible to paint those (they need blending from yellow to orange/red to match the TV show) prior to fitting and painting of the rest of the model.
+Lined up for size comparison:
