Probably not. It took me a year, working off and on, to finish this kit. This was the first time that I:
1) used various techniques to fill and hide seams,
2) used a primer after major assembly was finished,
3) used an airbrush,
4) used acrylic paints,
5) used Future,
6) applied aftermarket decals using Micro Set and Micro Sol,
7) used a liquid mask on the canopy,
8) used Pactra tape on the missiles,
and a variety of other minor techniques.
I'm really happy with the result. There are, of course, things that I wish I'd done better, but I'm satisfied overall.

I still want to make a base for the plane and try my hand at painting the figure that came with it.
We'll see how that goes.
I expect that the next model I build will go faster now that I've got a lot of these techniques under my belt.
