“My wife got me this for Christmas. After getting back into plastic kits this was really different. Could really do with better instructions for someone new to doing these kits. Though there are a reasonable amount of flat areas to do which are quite easy to start with the hardest part I found was the actual stairs. Both the inner and outer curves were a challenge but ended up with a good result. Yes, there isn't enough glue in the box but buying some decent wood glue helps. I used Gorrilla wood glue for some parts as it dried quicker but for other areas pound shop PVA glue was just fine. For some areas I did use craft sticks for extra strength in the underside of the floor and ceiling and I did buy some laser cut wooden wheels as I just couldn't make anything that looked reasonable with matchsticks. Overall I really enjoyed this kit and will definitely do more of them.”

“I recently purchased this matchstick model of the bus for my grandfather who had expressed an interest in trying a new hobby. Well he took to this like a duck to water and it now has pride of place on his mantelpiece. Good instructions enabled him to complete the model well.”
