Some links are printed in slightly different size what leads to fitting issues - you basically need to push two links against themselves and move them vigorously to remove some resin. Every link has about 6 residues of supports which should be sanded for both better fit and appearance. Pins can be very loose, sit nicely or sit tightly - I ended fixing all of them with drop of CA. Assembly took a lot of time, similar to the plastic ones I believe. After all, some links just cracked near the joint, they're too brittle to be repaired and got binned.
