Sky Ranger (8836)

Sky Ranger


At least I can't say the same things about this set that I said about set 8204 . The colour scheme is black and red with the odd touch of grey and yellow (the seat). The two cylinder engine drives the propeller (or is it the other way round), the rear under carriage has spring suspension (???) and a joystick in the cockpit controls the movement of the flaps on the wings via a clever push rod system.

There is nothing much wrong with this model (Am I over-using that statement?) but there is something lacking for me that leaves it behind in the mediocre pile. I'm not very keen on the cage around the cockpit and anyway, the Sky Stormer ( 8425 ) is a better looking plane with more features.

Score: 6/10
Pieces: 271
