## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ meccano thunderbird 2
*by T***M on 28 July 2019*

fun to build and looks good. when you are finisher its thunderbirds are go

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flimsy leg design.
*by J***Y on 22 September 2018*

All the pieces (627) were in the box including a few spares. Hubby said it was a bit fiddly to put together. All 4 legs which it stands on arn't really sturdy enough. They are just push-in plastic parts. The stickers were easy to apply. In general, he thought this kit was good value for money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant
*by J***E on 17 January 2019*

Brilliant! Great quality
