## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it delicate?**
A: If by delicate you mean, "is it tricky to assemble", I would say no. It's a detailed and uncomplicated kit. Much like the real vehicle. If by delicate you mean "how robust is it", well it's a plastic kit, how robust do you need?

**Q: Do the wheels spin ?**
A: The wheels certainly spin. The doors, trunk and bonnet all open too. I hope this helps. Take care. Sam
