Could have given a 5 star review except for the misleading sales pitch. Even on the box it says: "Small amount of painting may be required" "Plastic model cement needed - not included" EVERYTHING needs to be painted, and EVERYTHING needs glue. I built car models as a kid...1:12 scale. HO is 5+ TIMES smaller. Tiny. 1:87 So... $18.97 for the kit. $60+ for material and supplies. I'm very pleased. Once I got used to the tinyness, (cheaters and strong light recommended), all was good. Tiny parts were very precise, with little/no cleanup or flashing. LL Trains has a great product for a model. I will buy others now that I have all the supplies and paint. Nicely detailed. SMALL. Worth the effort. ## Frequently Bought Together - Life-Like Trains HO Scale Building Kits - Western Homestead - ATLAS MODEL 706 Passenger Station Kit HO - Life-Like Trains HO Scale Building Kits - General Store --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1098413-ho-scale-building-kits-western-homestead](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1098413-ho-scale-building-kits-western-homestead) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
