Phantom Sports Car (Qiji 1131)

About this set

This KEEPPLEY 1131 Phantom Sprint Racer sits in the City series and is aimed at newcomers, with a 2/5 difficulty rating and 158 pieces on the box. The finished build is an open-top sports car in a four-colour mix of red, green, yellow and black, a livelier palette than the usual single-colour racer. The set also includes a traffic light, a skateboard and a zebra crossing, so it works as a small street-corner scene rather than just a lone car. With 158 pieces, sort the parts by colour first, build the chassis and body in one pass, then finish the open cockpit last; leave the traffic light and skateboard aside until you position the scene so they do not get knocked off. The low difficulty and colour-coded parts make it easy for younger builders to follow. If you want a compact open-top racer with street accessories, this is a sensible pick.
