“Nice selection of parts that are quite unusual. The crane boom, the winch and the robot arm style stability legs are nice. Could do with a control panel for the crane though. The crane boom neatly hooks onto the chassis at the front for ease of transporting.”

“This vintage Town set offers a robust build with a unique road-going crane featuring a rotating boom, stability legs, and a functional winch. The car's compact hatchback design and the crane's vibrant blue-and-yellow color scheme add to its charm.”
