African Queen build

Hi:
I purchased the African Queen Made by Midwest a while back.
I have never built anything like this before.
Is this a difficult build? The biggest boat I have built was the swamp buggy “The Wendy”.
How does the African queen compare to the swamp buggy?
I built the swamp buggy 24 years ago.
If I decide not to attempt to build it can anyone recommend an easier build?
If I decide not to build it, any ideal what it is worth. The box has not been opened.
Thank you,
Terryt

African Queen Update

Hi:
Update on the African Queen.
It is a Billings Model not a Midwest product as I thought. Also it does not have the steam engine with it.
It was a project that I brought about 20 years ago and never got around to building it.
The model is missing pieces and has some broken parts.
I gave it to a froend who is younger and is very good at projects of this nature.
Thanks for all of the advice.

Thank you,
Terryt
