I've found an ideal way to make lockdown enjoyable, by building a R/C Model car with my son! He loves it and it's given us 4 days of fun piecing it together. The service from Wonderland was great as everything arrived really quickly! Looking forward to it's first drive later today!

To summarize - excellent kit, fun to build & drive after for my sons (& myself !!). I always wanted an RC kit, but never got one; so took the opportunity to get the Hornet that I remembered for my kids and myself. As ever, excellent Tamiya instructions and build - clear and simple, yet fun. The car is good to run inside & out, adding to the opportunities to drive it.
