052D Destroyer (Qiji 25009-2)

About this set

This is the 052D destroyer from KEEPPLEY's Peace Heavy Armor series, set 25009-2, marked 6+ on the box with a 2/5 difficulty and a 1:45 scale. The hull is mostly grey, with red and white accents picking out details. The finished model shows the main gun, vertical launch system, bridge, radar, deck and helicopter, and the deck reads as a complete layered assembly. For build order, start with the hull, then add the deck-mounted gun and VLS, and finish with the bridge, radar and helicopter, where the small parts cluster. The clutch is easy to work with at this difficulty, so builders 6 and up can handle it alone, though younger kids may want help with the bridge and radar. A good pick for fans of naval subjects who want a scale display set without a heavy part count.
