He’s held in the air via a clear rod, while the broken window pieces are attached with ball joints.Īside from the sheer number of stickers in the set, most of which are used to provide pictures for the many screens found in and outside of the model, putting together the windows for the Daily Bugle is perhaps the only aspect that we weren’t enamoured about while building it.

There are over 30 bags in all, and all but one of them is numbered 1 through to 16.Īlongside the bags is a 376-page instruction book with a nice introduction to the set by the designer, and two sticker sheets. Stupidly, however, you need to open the white box within the box to access the first batch of them.
