QUICKBUILD Model Car Kit - Jeep Gladiator Overland Car Building Kit for Kids 6+, Construction Toys for Boys & Girls, No Glue Model Making - Classic Car Gifts Plastic Model Kits

Nice model, easy to build and a good finished result. I’ve a few quick build models, mostly aircraft which can be built in a few minutes. This kit is a bit bigger so takes a little longer, not so long you get bored but long enough to enjoy the process of building the model. Many of the pieces click together in a Lego style fashion although the studs are shallower so a little more fragile than a Lego model would be, it’s a touch fiddly at the end because of it but just needs a slightly delicate touch. Finished model is good, wouldn’t be robust enough for a child to play with but as a display item it’s fine. I know that a good modeller with a proper Airfix kit could make a much more detailed model given several hours and a selection of enamel paints but I know from experience that if I tried to do a conventional kit, I’d end up with glue blobs with fingerprints on, mediocre paint job and the water slide transfers would try my patience. I’d not enjoy building the model nor be pleased with it when finished. On building my bus I was confused as I couldn’t work out the glazing for the upper deck, this was because it had two right hand glass panels and a missing one on the left. I emailed Hornby with pictures and details thinking they might send me a replacement part. They sent out a complete new kit, so I’ve built the original without the panel which hardly shows and I’ll have one facing each way. Cheers Hornby.

Bought to build as a gift for my mother who has a thing for VW campers. I am not new to model making, but having seen others struggle i prepped for a battle (1 I saw took nearly 2 hours to get done). using lego style fixings technically the whole thing should be glueless, heres what i found, it all fitted together in around 20 mins, not needing to ever dismantel it i used spots of thin glue (pva white glue would do but would slow build) along long seams and for roof, but parts fit lovely and snap fit works. instructions are simple and if followed in order are easy to use, parts are pre coloured or clear, decal as they are are peel stickers. end result is a good model of a VW 1965 camper with vinyl/rubber wheels. who is it good for ? VW FANS, Children or anyone either new to or inexperienced with model building, even experienced modellers looking for a break from the 500 + piece hyper detailed models they're used to. infact its a fun build for anyone from box minimum age to elders though if you have large fingers or arthritic knuckles I would suggest good tweezers for some fo the small parts and stickers. Verry pleased with kit and moms over the moon with the result.

A lovely present for a VW addict (or just or someone who loves campervans or models). Well made and easy to put together.

I found the build a bit ‘temperamental’ at times, the finished truck was pretty good however. Would have given five stars, but for the awful stickers. Mine kept peeling off after only a few hours. A few dabs of Prit Stick sorted things out. Personally I’d have been happy to pay a bit more to have coloured plastic ‘lenses’ to simulate the lights. Not a bad buy though.

Not as clear instructions as Lego but a quick build all the same. Looks great once completed. Some very small stickers as well!

I've not seen it as it was a present but they said it was easy and fun to build and it's not cheap & tacky to look at,

Nice bus model, shame about the shoddy build. Airfoil, you are not Lego. Lego does this shizzle SO much better! This is neither the sort of glue-together, fiddly, highly detailed model you might associate the brand, nor a beautifully designed and intuitive construction set that you'd associate with Lego, despite the snap-fit and studs being slightly reminiscent. Instead, it's a snap-together kit that doesn't really fit. As a seasoned builder of Lego sets, I bought this for my 14 yo autistic son who has learning disabilities because one thing he's excellent at is following visual instructions and building things - it's pretty much his superpower. This almost defeated him and me, when I stepped in to help. The pieces don't really want to fit together and there's still a gap where the side doesn't marry to the front panels. You need to apply a certain amount of pressure to get things to snap together, and guess what? - when you do that, other bits ping off! SO FRUSTRATING! So if this doesn't sound like it would be for you, be advised. That said, the end product is a pretty nice model of a modern Routemaster and the stickers really add verisimilitude. NO idea how robust it is once built, but I fully expect it to ping apart soon.

excellent value my grandson loves it thanks

Excelente combi me gustó mucho

We bought this for our littlest niece (4.5) for Christmas— she’s head over heels for VW bugs. Her sister (10.5) put it together for her with ease. It is perfect.

Vraiment sympa pour un cadeau

I have a reasonably bad experience. Some parts did not line up properly a few broke easily so the model could not be completed not very happy.
