Do not be fooled by the age recommendations on this kit. You will find this a challange I can assure you, it took me a good 6 hours to construct. The instructions are quite clear but some pictures are difficult to understand due to the colours of the parts but that makes for a good challange. The nuts still cross thread just as easily as the older ones and you still have to hold 6 bits together with one hand and try and find the nut with the others. All the frustrations and skills of old are retained in this kit. Having said that the hex screws make the construction a little easier but this model makes use of cuved sheets under tension which without the hex screws would be almost impossible to align and screw together. There are a few minor mistakes in the instructions but nothing that will send you down the wrong path for long. The finish of the parts are excellent and even though I am really an older style meccano lover this model is well worth the effort of saving for and constructing. Value? well its not cheap but if you are going to go with the newer style meccano then I can recommend this model.
