Building a Russ isn't that hard, I'll tell you as someone who has built 10 of them for their AC.
It comes with instructions, so overall there shouldn't be a problem. There's only 2 areas you may find to think about, I find one of the first jobs - the tracks - annoying and fiddly but no major problem.
What you should really think about before you even touch it is your upgrades, namely what is useful and what is not. A common noob mistake is to throw all of your upgrades on the model, and then think about what you will actually use afterwards. DONT.
Instead build the model, but don't touch the upgrade sprue until you have decided what upgrades you want to use. In reality there are only 1/2 on that sprue that are actually any good. I would also recommend you see if you can get a spare Heavy Bolter from a friend and stick it as the hull weapon instead of that Lascannon. I personally consider it better to have 3 Heavy Bolters, as if you shoot that Lascannon all your other weapons are wasted (can't use Ordinance, the Sponsons can't hurt tanks). Other vets will give you advice and their opinions, but that's mine.
