My 12 year old grandson is fascinated with this model set. He has never had any erector sets before. He especially was excited about building this with his dad. He just came to live with his dad- so this model has been a good project for the two of them to do together.
Difficult To Build

I had Erector set kits when I was a boy and I was excited to share my recollections of youth with my 9 year old son. This particular model is very difficult to assemble. My son became disinterested, so I intervened. I told him we would break and try again the next day. Then I took some time to try and assemble this kit myself. Even I had difficulty completing the model. The assembly is weak and uses fasteners that do not stay put. As you add to previously built sub assemblies, the fasteners come loose and re-work becomes the norm. Even I became disinterested with this model.

My 6 year old took to this immediately. (More so than other construction oriented kits.) I wanted to jump in and help him, but he said "Let me do it daddy!" So daddy sits on his hands.
