Airplane, Construction Vehicle and Hovercraft Combo Set (LEGO 60505)

About this set

LEGO 60505 is a City set built around urban rescue, packing 990 pieces into one box with a difficulty of 2/5. The color scheme runs on yellow, black, green, white and orange, and the contents cover a helicopter, an engineering truck with a ladder, a garbage truck with bins, a hovercraft and minifigures, so you get air, ground and water vehicles in a single purchase. Start with the minifigures and bins to get a feel for the parts, then move to the garbage truck chassis and the ladder assembly; the ladder's hinged sections need the pins lined up squarely, and it is worth testing the truck's tipping action before the body is closed up. The helicopter and hovercraft go together quickly and work well as a final stage. At 2/5 the steps are broken down finely enough for newcomers to follow bag by bag, and spreading 990 pieces across several vehicles keeps each build session short. This one suits City rescue fans who want several vehicle types at once, and it works as a set for splitting between builders.
