Good set, but let down by 'the white brick issue'
" The set itself is an enjoyable build - good design, not too taxing but not too simple either. However, the failing (not unique to this set but) is the persistent problem with white pieces discolouring quickly.
Despite storing the set unopened in its delivery packaging in a cool & dark loft, the white pieces were already 'off-white' at the point of opening up each bag.
For a model where white is such a predominant colour, this is a real issue - made even more noticeable when white stickers (of which there are many in this set) are attached to 'white' pieces.
This isn't a new problem (AROCS cab, Campervan roof, Ecto-1 being other examples) although at least with those sets the white pieces actually came out of the box in the shade/tone expected and have lost their 'whiteness' gradually despite not being in sunlight or heat. But to open a brand new set and know before you've started the build that the end result isn't going to look as good as you'd like it to (and no-where near the crisp white of the box illustrations) is a little disappointing, hence only 3 stars.
