Armed Assault Vehicle (Qiji 42207-1)

About this set

This is the Armed Assault Vehicle from KEEPPLEY's Super Set transformation series, set 42207-1, marked 6+ on the box with 55 pieces and a 2/5 difficulty rating, making it a very approachable military vehicle build. The model is mainly green with grey, black and blue parts, and it features a front windshield, side doors, a roof antenna, plus a turret and missile launcher at the rear, all sitting on off-road tires. A sensible build order is the chassis and wheel assembly first, checking that all four tires sit level, then the body panels and doors, and finally the turret, missile launcher and antenna, since these protruding parts are easy to knock loose while pressing the body together. At 55 pieces it suits kids new to brick building, and the box selling points of the missile truck and the red-blue/white-eagle look make it a nice small display piece; the trickiest step is aligning the turret and roof antenna, so dry-fit the connection points before pushing them down.
