## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great model
*by B***N on October 14, 2025*

Perfect

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth The Money
*by M***S on March 4, 2026*

Nice. Basic but, like any model, it can look really good if it's detailed good

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis
*by S***. on May 18, 2025*

Auch hier wieder ein super Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis und Academy hat den Karton nicht übergroß gehalten, was auch mal schön ist. Diese Riesen Klopper wo man sogar noch einen zweiten Bausatz reinpacken könnte, weil noch so viel Platz ist, sind schon manchmal nervig. Der Bausatz macht auf den ersten Blick auch einen super Eindruck, hier kann denke ich aus der Box gebaut werden, da alle Teile ordentlich und dem Original entsprechend gut nachempfunden sind, selbst die Räder sind wie beim Original. Man könnte höchstens noch die Kirsche auf die Sahnetorte setzen, mittels ausgefahrenen Flaps und Slats Umbauset.
