Heavy Crane (Qiji 42210-5)

About this set

This KEEPPLEY 42210-5 Heavy Crane sits in the BAY COMBINE 8-in-1 line and is the construction-unit member of the combiner. The box lists 86 parts and 6+, with a 2/5 difficulty, so it is a short build. The model is a heavy-crane shape: a yellow body with blue, black and grey parts, a transparent blue cab piece, and a boxy body riding on a six-wheel chassis. The movable boom and hook are the main play features. Build the six-wheel chassis first and check the wheels roll freely, then add the boxy body, and attach the boom and hook last, since pressing them on earlier tends to knock the hook loose. At 86 parts, a 6+ kid can finish it over an evening or two. It suits builders who like construction vehicles or plan to collect all 8-in-1 combiner sets; it works as a standalone display piece or as combiner material, and the transparent cab and yellow body stand out on a light desk.
