Review of Xingbao XB-07002 Future Balisong Small Supercar

Presenting another Xingbao kit, the Xingbao XB-07002 Future Balisong Small Supercar. This will be the first time, I will be reviewing a kit from this popular designer who is Lord Paul, the third of his name, from House Boratko, Lord of the Crowkillers, Warden of the West, Knight of the Order of the MOC'ers (Sorry, been binge watching Game of Thrones so got carried away :))

Like my earlier Xingbao kits, I got this one from the guys at Brixit. You can find them on Carousell as well.

So without further ado, here we go.

As always Xingbao does a good job with the box, packing and box art. Pretty standard packing as per Xingbao standards is what I can safely say.

The first thing that struck me was that the kit was going to be interesting. The way it was built was different and very engaging. BUT, Xingbao did a real number on the instructions. In many places, they expect the user to figure out a way to join things together without clear instructions on how things snap together.

The engine is interesting, to put it mildly. The usual construction of the engine with the yellow piston heads has been replaced by this. And it looks very good.

The snapfit, quality are as expected from Xingbao. Scroll down for more WIP pictures.

As the pictures show, the car look amazing and the construction is fantastic. It will thoroughly engage you during the construction and you will enjoy every step of it. After giving it such a thumbs up, it seems a major crime to criticize it but the instruction manual did get on my nerves occasionally so I would not recommend it to a newbie as a kit to cut their teeth on. 

However for expert builders, it should not cause too much of a problem. Looking forward to making more from 

Lord Paul,

the third of his name, 

from House Boratko, 

Lord of the Crowkillers, 

oh wait, I did it again. Now back to Game of Thrones.
