I got this set as a 50th birthday present (I know...... But you're only as young as you feel! 👍🏻).This was a pretty challenging set to build and took a couple of hours a day over several days to complete, the first bags took the longest to complete given the ground work for the frame and gearing and pneumatics were in there.If I have one suggestion it's to mark the airlines to make it a bit easier to trace and connect when the time comes.I first looked at the stickers and thought they look garish but once they're on the truck it works, would I recommend this set?... You bet!... It's a great set that looks fantastic when complete. 5*

I love technic builds and this is no exception. The detail and functionality is awesome. My only complaint is box size. Lego sets are almost always in boxes that are too big. Take some of the air out of the bags and you can cut the box size by 2/3. Lego is taking steps to make packaging more eco friendly. Reducing the box size would save on so much packaging and shipping costs. Would also help customers who want to be able to store their sets but don’t have the space for the boxes. I only have one shelf in the store room where I can store my sets. By switching out the Lego boxes for plastic tubs I was able to store 4-5 times more sets in the same space. One tub for each set still uses less space because each tub is smaller and not 3/4 empty like the boxes would be

Building this kit was thoroughly enjoyable and took me about six days. It could be completed much quicker but I was in no hurry. The model has quite a few working features, some of which are pneumatically operated, and looks impressive when completed. My only criticism would be the way the pneumatics are operated. The small hand pump creates a jerky movement of the components. I feel this would be better achieved with a motorised system like other Lego kits.That said, at the discounted price I paid (£120) this was good value for money and was fun to build. I recommend it.
