This is my first large Technic build and having seen this built up in a local store I just couldn't wait to create my own version. It is surprisingly large when completed and even though I had seen one built it still shocked me when I saw the completed size.
STICKER WARNING! This kit is sticker heavy. Yes, they do enhance the look of the vehicle in general but some of them I just could not get right. The way the word Porsche is spread over the rear spoiler just looks a mess and I really did my best with it. This is such a visible piece on the completed vehicle and so torturous to even approximate how it should look I feel it should have been preprinted. Whilst I'm on a moan I will also mention I got just over 3 Hours in to the build and found I was missing a 1 x 15 strut piece. I even double checked the build up to that point and I had not used a wrong part so it was definitely missing (even after thorough bag, box and floor checks). Thank goodness for stash as I couldn't imagine having to wait for a replacement part after spending so long building.
Now on to the good stuff. I LOVED THIS BUILD. Honestly, I just kept going and going until it was finished and I never felt jaded or tired whilst constructing the vehicle. I even had to be forced to stop to eat. Honestly this was really absorbing and watching the vehicle emerge from a bunch of random looking connectors and struts was incredible and made me immeasurably happy.
If you are on the fence about getting a larger Technic kit I cannot recommend this vehicle highly enough. If anything it was actually easier than the smaller sets I've built. The only thing I would say is make sure you have a large stable building surface as this thing really takes up some space.
