Or attempting same. I've actually made headway getting leaves off the lawn and into the green dumpster! For something to keep me occupied when the weather gets worse, I got out a couple model kits I started but set aside. One was a WW2 Jap. G4M "Betty" bomber. The kit itself was fairly straightforward - didn't have any real problems assembling it; the problem came when I tried to deal with all the glazing panels. There's a mask available for that, but the panels are so small, I couldn't tell which went where. So I'll finish painting it and just add windows unpainted. I'm calling that one a fail.
Another problem I have is dealing with tiny parts, some of which seem like sub-atomic size. I drop parts, too. Which I flat cannot find. I swear alien archaeologists scoop them up and take them back to the mother ship for analysis... never to be seen or heard from again. I do that with small gun parts, too but my work-around for that is to vacuum the floor and run a magnet through the dust bunnies. That trick works pretty well.
But, never say die. I'm starting on another kit soon - something without 112 window panels - a steam locomotive. We will see how that turns out. SW
