Yes, I made it before I reviewed it! Impressive when complete, Mattel's parts service is not good
The instructions, for the most part, are easy to follow although I did have difficulty discerning the difference between the black and dark grey colours as shown on the pages as the shades were far too similar to my eyes. The kit comes with a removal tool though which I had to use a number of times as it is easy to go wrong if you don’t concentrate. Kids might need help with some bits as they are difficult to assemble (push together).Once built it makes a large model 30cm x 14cm and weighs 820g.Unlike Lego there are no stickers in the kit, all the details are printed on the blocks, the printing is very crisp and well done.If I were to nitpick as a toy the door mechanism is very weak, doesn’t work that well and would not put up with rough play, there is no steering so it is difficult to turn in an arc during play. If it is used for display the green plastic is not a great colour, as you can see the flowmarks from the injection moulding process and this detracts from the overall look of the car.If you need to get a spare part (like I did) because of a missing item Mattel's spares service is not a patch on Lego and when I contacted them they could not help me and directed me back to Amazon. Luckily the kit is compatible with Lego bricks so I could use one of those for the missing part.Overall for what you get I think it is okay for value plus you get a little Hot Wheels diecast car as well (approx £10 RRP). It would be a nice activity to do with the kids (it would take a few days to complete) and despite what I said about the green plastic it is an impressive model once done.

Authentic, detailed, and iconic. Fantastic build. Would recommend.
Wow!!This iconic Aston Martin Vulcan has 986 pieces in 17 bags and a good set of straightforward instructions. It looks spectacular, and I cannot wait to finish it.I started building with my Dad, and now I build with my own kids and in my opinion it’s a great way to get started and a lovely bonding experience.Once built this beautifully constructed car has opening doors and bonnet, rubber tyres and a fantastic interior with moving parts. I absolutely love the two tone colours.The finish of the bricks is outstandingly good, the green colour shimmers and looks amazing with the black.The rear view of the car particularly with its big rear wing is stunning.This set comes with the die cast model which can be saved as a collectors item or played with.In my opinion this is an excellent build which is fairly priced. There’s lots of help and advice online and you can share your builds and experiences on the website.Seeing as it’s unlikely despite my aspirations, that I will ever own an Aston Martin Vulcan, I am more than happy to settle for this distinctive, beautiful build on my shelf.I would definitely recommend it, and hope you find my review helpful.
