Armored Vehicle Under Attack (Qiji 1709)

About this set

This is KEEPPLEY 1709, an Armored Vehicle Ambush set from the Battlefield series, marked 6+ on the box with a difficulty of 2/5. It comes with 446 pieces and 4 minifigures. The main build is a green and grey military truck on a six-wheel chassis, with a roof radar, a roof-mounted autocannon and missiles near the front; the set also includes a propeller plane, a motorcycle, a military dog and a barricade, with yellow parts breaking up the colour scheme. Start with the six-wheel chassis and check how the wheel assemblies connect to the frame before building upward, then add the roof radar and autocannon, since those sub-assemblies are fiddly and easier to handle once the chassis is stable. The plane and motorcycle are simple builds, so save them for the end to share with younger builders. At 2/5 difficulty it suits ages 6 and up, and with 446 pieces spread across several small models it never feels like a slog in one sitting. A good pick for fans of military vehicles who want a small scene with a plane, bike and barricade, and a solid entry-level battlefield set.
