Just a heads up if you have/are purchasing this model.
The way the instructions tell you to assemble the hull/roof shows assembling the treads and then attaching the roof. Beware, dry fit the roof on as if you do not, and if you push the hull into the structural holes as far as it can go your roof will be too widew and you will have to do some heavy modifications on the tread to get it to attach properly. Why they would make their model so that this can happen (especially if you're following the directions!) is beyond me. Best thing you can do, and it figures the one time I was in a rush and didn't do it something would go South, is make a test fit of any piece before you glue it and to rubber band/weight/clamp everything you glue in large models.

Nuclear: Properly pronounced new-clear, not new-cue-lir. There is no 'u' between the c and l, so stop saying it because it just makes you sound like a dumbass. This includes nucleolus, and all other derivatives of the word.

Mine glued together fine... Except that I glued the roof on before the lights so there are 2 holes in it...

When I called the guys at GW the contact I got told me that this had happened to two other guys that he had talked to that day. Not being an isolated incident, I thought I'd let the community know to save people some frustration.

I put my roof on as a spacer when I glued the two track halves on.

My redeemer turned out fine...but I did dry fit the roof

I know. I'm evil.
I saw weird stuff in that place last night. Weird, strange, sick, twisted, eerie, godless, evil stuff. And I want in.
