Knight Mech (Qiji 2313)

About this set

This KEEPPLEY 2313 Knight Mecha sits in THE WAR OF GLORY castle series, with ENLIGHTEN branding and a 6+ age mark on the box. It uses 372 pieces and rates 2/5 on difficulty. The build is a large bipedal mecha knight in blue, grey and gold, carrying a golden gun barrel, a shield and a chain, with wheel parts at the feet, plus a black panther mount. Its selling point is direct 2-in-1 transformation, so it swaps between mecha and mount forms. Build the symmetrical torso and legs first, then attach the gun barrel and shield, saving the chain and wheel parts for last so handling during the build doesn't knock them loose. The stance is top-heavy, so check that both feet sit flat when posing. A good pick for newcomers to mecha kits who want something they can transform and fiddle with, and the 6+ rating makes it easy to build with kids.
