This is a very whimsical and lighthearted kit - a good diversion for those wanting a break from any buildup of tedium. In the Tamiya quality that I come to expect, even this skill level 1 set is enjoyable to make, mainly because of the appreciation in the robustness of the parts, and the engineering of the set as a whole. This kit is in opposition to a photo-etched based kit. You can assemble this Aerial Cabin with two left hands (Southpaws, no offense to you), and still not come close to breaking anything. And at the end of your endeavors is a battery powered tram that follows an elevated, suspended string - with the ability automatically to change direction when encountering the included stoppers at either end.
The inside of the box when folded and painted, becomes the cabin's shell. All the included gears, levers, and switches are Tamiya-tight. I have this installed in my den, and like to have it running when guests are invited. Sometimes it takes awhile before they notice the little pink cabin drifting nonchalantly overhead.

All you need now is a Richard Burton figure in a German snowsuit on the roof...
Blacksmithn, I think I've seen the movie, but I am having Total Non-Recall. Which movie was that?
Where Eagles Dare w/Clint Eastwood. A classic!
That looks fun. Thanks for sharing.
I don't remember a lot about the wonderful motorized Tamiya kits I built as a kid, but I did quite a few of them and were probably my favorites amongst all models built.
That is super cool!
I was thinking figures of #007 and 'Jaws' would look awesome on top myself!

Is the cabin that you folded , basically a card model ?
cool, but isn't the wire supposed to go between the two sets of wheels? If I recall correctly the top set keep the tram stable while the main wheel makes it move. I could see how this would be a fun project to work on with a kid.
