I think I'm getting one for Xmas, but hoping to twist the Boss's arm for a welder. :)

Hi

Best price I found although in € is here, €131.99.

Still beats PCGB price and most UK stores.

Very nice, no batteries included (AA x 3), but screwdriver is, so nothing is needed for a basic build.

If you want to make it nicer, you'll need an x-acto knife or razor blade, and possibly a nail file to smooth the broken-off residues on the edges. I've seen someone using WD40 to oil the cylinder and crank....

It takes about two hours, and if you know very little about engines (yes I know...), the building process actually makes you understand how it all works.... Very nice.....

And detail the carbs a bit!
Looks fun.
