Vortex Assault Vehicle (Qiji 2415)

About this set

KEEPPLEY 2415 Whirlpool Assault Vehicle sits in the Crystal Stone series' deep-sea exploration line, marked 6+ on the box with a 2/5 difficulty and 427 pieces. The color scheme is mostly yellow, black and white with red and blue accents, and the build is a deep-sea vehicle: transparent cockpit, two-seat cabin, roof searchlight, tracked wheels, spiral drill and propeller, with linked rotation as the selling point. I'd start with the tracked wheel assembly and chassis, then add the seats and transparent cockpit, and attach the drill and propeller last; spin the linkage before closing up the shell, since fixing it later means pulling the body apart. At 2/5 this is friendly for ages 6+, and 427 pieces work well across two or three sessions. A good pick for fans of deep-sea vehicles who want a tracked model with a drill.
