Based on one person building the set for the first time, following the original instructions and using numbered bags where supplied. Includes normal piece-finding and minor adjustments; excludes long breaks, filming, dismantling and modifications. Sources may use different methods. This range is neither a statistical interval nor a limit: your build may take less or more time.

How we estimate times · sources and method

Motors, wiring and suspension need organised assembly and tests before bodywork. The three central durations are model-specific editorial assessments. Planning ranges extend approximately from 65% to 145%, rounded to quarter-hours; they are not measured experience-level averages or guaranteed limits.

Sources do not always specify the builder’s experience. The three experience bands are our editorial assessment, based on the complexity of the set and individual accounts where available.

SET THE MOOD

A soundtrack for your build

· Selected for the subject and atmosphere

For intricate structures and extended sessions we choose a quieter ambient texture. It leaves space for the instructions, while the electronic alternative adds energy when you want it.

A build to spread over several sessions: choose the more understated option when you want the instructions to take centre stage. The music does not set your pace.
