I frequent two hobby clubs: The One You Admit To and The One You Conceal.
To be fair, I change the designations around from month to month so that everyone can feel uncomfortable…
The heading image is the amount accomplished at one 3-hour session. Airfix were precise and sensible when they wanted to be; you could follow their directions and go a long way before having to stop.
To be honest, I should have assembled the cab separately from the front chassis to allow for easier painting – but in the end it came out pretty well anyway. The awkward part was masking off the window spaces. I settled on liquid mask for the edges and then tiny paper slivers inserted to catch the masking fluid. It was easier to do than expected, though I would not choose it as a method again.

Even little builds have lessons.
