My 10yr old grandson requested this toy for Christmas. His father sensibly assembled it before Christmas day to avoid dissapoiting his son. However, the model started to break apart very quickly when it was played with and it was put away for a total re-build using glue. I undertook the re-build as my son couldn't face doing it again. It took me about 25 hours to complete, and to be honest, the model does look quite impressive once completed. However, I found the 40 page instruction booklet misleading and could not be relied upon for accuracy. I found a magnafying glass very useful.
This model is made from 'MEGA BLOKS' which are basically olive coloured lego bricks for want of a better description, and anybody purchasing one of these toys should be aware of how fiddly they can be to build.
At over £80 I think toy is over priced and is only worth half that amount.
I therefore do not think it is value for money and I certainly would not recommend it.
