Blade Warrior (Qiji 3302)

About this set

The KEEPPLEY 3302 Blade Warrior sits in the Blast Ranger series and is a 448-piece helicopter-to-robot transformer rated 6+ with a 2/5 difficulty. The colour scheme is blue, black, gold and white, and the rotors, multi-barrel weapons and body panels all use those colours to break up the model, so sort the large blue and black parts from the gold details before you start. Build the helicopter body and rotors first, add the multi-barrel weapons next, and leave the transformation joints for last; the tricky part is keeping the joints symmetrical, so press both sides together as you go. The box highlights transformation without disassembly, so you fold the rotors and arms in sequence to switch modes. A good pick for builders aged 6 and up who want both a helicopter and a robot, and the 448-part count keeps it approachable for newcomers.
