Missile Launch Vehicle (Qiji 42209-8)

About this set

This is the KEEPPLEY 42209-8 Missile Launcher Vehicle from the Super Set series, marked 6+ on the box with a difficulty of 2/5, so it sits at the easier end of military vehicle builds. The finished model is mostly green with black, blue, yellow and grey parts, which breaks up the body, tracks and missile into readable layers. It uses a tracked chassis together with wheeled vehicle elements, and the rear carries a missile launcher frame holding a cylindrical missile body, plus some blue transparent pieces as accents. Build the tracked and wheeled chassis first, then add the launcher frame, and seat the cylindrical missile last so you don't knock the base apart while aligning the frame. The main tricky spot is the frame-to-chassis connection: not many parts, but they need to line up, and at 2/5 it suits builders aged 6 and up who are new to military vehicle subjects. The box also lists BATTLE BOYS combining play and B01-combine 42209-8 Battle Beast, so it works as one part of a numbered combiner set worth collecting together for display.
