Constructing it is still very much a pain after attaching the arm to the structure (who came up with the idea of putting rubber bands on it in a place as inconvenient as this?) and leading four hoses on top of each other is quirky, but it's worth the final product. The only design choice I could criticize is the strange skeleton of a cockpit. It doesn't even sit on top of the structure, but is attached in line with it \u2013 that just looks weird from any angle other than left! And it doesn't even have a floor.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":null,"rating_converted":null,"author_name":"MadMax1998","embed":null}]}
