Heavenly Hercules

Takes some time and experience to built but it’s absolutely gorgeous. I think I will purchase another to gift.

This looks great. Good instructions and the parts seem sturdy. I gave as a gift to my dad and he loved it.

Great model, definitely takes some effort and experience in building models. It’s a work of art. Your’s may look awful, and someone else’s will look really great. The quality of it is very good, but there is a couple issues with the instructions that if fixed would make the model exponentially more fun to build and come out looking better. A couple notes, they really need to put a big stop sign on the spring that says DONT CUT THIS UNTIL IT IS ATTACHED TO THE BASE!!!!! It exploded and cut my finger. The instructions don’t explain until like page three, and the fine print on the first page is not very clear or in a relevant place so it’s easy to over look and is pretty ambiguously explained on the first page. It’s completely impossible to put the spring in the correct position without it being attached to the base before the wrap is cut to release its tension. I had to cut down the spring to 1/4 it’s original size. The model may or may not spin, that’s really determined by how precise you make it. The other thing too is they really need to emphasize what direction the lines on the parts should be. I do not get why they couldn’t just tell you what side the lines go on. It is really confusing because the parts are symmetrical, so when you have to redo something because the lines are not supposed to show, the parts may break. Tip, a little bit of CA glue strategically placed will help make some parts of the build easier, especially if you have CA Excelerator. Also CA was great when I had to redo a few things and the tabs on the canopy broke. I should have looked at the picture before hand. The lines on the wings need to be facing up, and not down.

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend and when he opened it he was very happy. He said that it comes with a pair of white gloves and the tools needed. He hasn't put it together yet but I will update this review when he does

Great looking after putting together. I installed the gears only on engines number one and just getting those 2 to turn was a nightmare. The way the propeller shafts go into a split open deal will never work. I filed the areas smooth but still get caught in the split opening when they turn, not a good design in that area and it one of the most important aspects to the project. Looks great, will never spin all the engines.

My Dad and I bought this for my grandpa who loves models and putting things together. He loves it! He said it was a good challenge because hes never built anything like it before.

Title says it all.

Instructions are not great.
