Missile Cruiser (Qiji 821)

About this set

This KEEPPLEY 821 Missile Cruiser sits in the CombatZones military series, with ENLIGHTEN branding and the Missile Cruiser name on the box. It comes in at 843 pieces and a 2/5 difficulty, so most builders can finish it in one or two sessions. The hull is predominantly grey and blue with yellow, black and red accents, and the deck carries a naval gun, missile launchers, a radar mast, a ship-borne helicopter, a lifeboat, plus yellow and black small boats. Nine soldier minifigures and two missiles round out the contents. Build the main hull first, then work through the deck weapons section by section, and save the radar mast and helicopter for last since their thin parts are the fiddliest. The clutch is fine for a display set, and the 6+ age mark fits, though younger builders may need a hand with the smaller mast and rotor pieces.
