Subject: How easy are scibor vehicle conversion kits to use?

With the announcement of the new Rhino and Land Raider variants, and them seemingly being exclusive to warhammer world, I was looking into options for converting my own.
I found these from Scibor
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1431
I know these are built with the Land Raider in mind, but how easily do the kits combine? I have next to no experience with resin, and little conversion experience full stop, so I wanted to hear opinions from people who have undertaken similar products before potentially biting off more than I can chew!
Many Thanks!

They are just glued to the surface of the model, nothing complicated.

I have a land raider and one of the kits that has been sitting in my "you should really finish this someday" pile. The reason it's taking me so long is it is a bit of a pain. The inserts at the front and back of the treads are no big deal, but the large pieces that cover the sides require you to shave and sand off all the raised detail on the land raider where they attach, if you want them to sit flush. That's not too bad, but does take a little work.
The tough one for me is the sponsons don't fit flush in the openings on the side, so they are going to take some fairly major modification or greenstuffing to fit well.

I have heard that they are gorgeous, but don't just fit straight on over the top. Probably not a beginners purchase, but will look good with effort.
