This is a well-designed model based on the Battlefront game version of the pistol. The parts fit together well, and assembly is fairly intuitive.
Notes for costumers planning to use this model for a Director Krennic costume:
1. Since this is the Battlefront version, not the movie version, the scope appears on the right instead of on the left (as it was in the movie). However, this is a simple fix if you invert the scope mounting bracket before printing, since the pistol is otherwise symmetrical.
2. The ammo cylinder, while well designed, is not 100% screen accurate. Specifically, there are 8 sides to this ammo cylinder (including the hidden sides on the bottom), while the movie version has 6. Also, the faces on the ammo cylinder are deeply indented on this version, while the movie version has them only slightly indented at the rear, and more even with the outer surface at the front. In other words, the ammo cylinder in the movie version is more flat than indented all the way around.
3. While probably not essential unless you are making a 100% accurate replica, this model is also missing the release lever (used to enable reloading) that is located above the pistol grip, and the charging slide (used to engage a new ammo cylinder after a reload) that is located at the front of the horizontal slot in the pistol body.
You can see all of these parts in action on episode 32 of The Star Wars show starting at about 5:20.
