I can recommend this kit very highly, and I wouldn't let the claimed "nowadays skill level 4" scare you at all. While the Odyssey is the most complicated model rocket kit I've ever built, if I can build this model, so can anyone else with opposable thumbs and a little patience.

Definitely visit the thread that Scott linked to, for assembly AND launch pictures as well as some descriptions of the build process.

Ditto. This is a GREAT build. All it takes is a little patience, not something that I'm known for. Follow the instructions, which are EXCELLENT and incredibly detailed, then sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. I didn't find the build to be what I would consider a skill level four, which I would think means assembles with some difficulty. It looks daunting when you first bust the box, but the ease with which it assembles is very surprising, in large part due to the instructions. (Did I mention that they're excellent?)

nah nah nah nah nah!

A couple of months ago I was over at Scotts house and saw the unfinished, finished and photo-ready models of the Odyssey...

It is the coolest model on the planet.

No, this is the coolest model on any planet readily accessible by interplanetary spaceship... which... oh yeah...the USS Odyssey is.

I saw it first! memememeememememe!
