China Manned Space Launch Mission (Qiji K10211)

About this set

This is KEEPPLEY K10211, a manned spaceflight launch mission set from the KP space series, labeled on the box as the Long March 2F launch vehicle and Shenzhou spacecraft. The set includes 2 brick models and is officially licensed. The color scheme is mainly white with black, red, blue and yellow accents, a Chinese flag pattern on the rocket, an escape tower on top, boosters around the core stage, and solar panels on the spacecraft. The backdrop uses a blue grid with structural wireframe graphics. Difficulty is 2/5, so the part count is on the gentle side. My advice is to build the core stage and boosters as separate sub-assemblies first, then attach the escape tower last so the thin top section does not take stress while you handle the model, and locate the solar panels before closing up the spacecraft body. Color separation is clear, so sorting is easy, making it a good pick for newcomers to space subjects or anyone who wants a rocket and a spacecraft from one box.
