Fujian Aircraft Carrier (Qiji 25009-1)

About this set

This is KEEPPLEY set 25009-1, the Fujian, part of the Peace Heavy Armor series and marked 6+ on the box. The finished model is an aircraft carrier built mainly in grey with red and white accents. It includes a carrier flight deck, an island superstructure, carrier aircraft, missile launchers and a wave base, so the ship sits on a sculpted sea surface for display. Difficulty is rated 2/5 and the clutch is on the looser side, making it a reasonable first build. I would assemble the hull and wave base first, then lay the flight deck, and add the island, aircraft and missile launchers last; the deck-to-base joints take the most pressure, so line up the studs before pressing. The main thing to watch is keeping the deck flat and the island square. It suits builders after a carrier subject and a compact display piece with its own base.
