[Review] Xingbao XB-03002 – Vespa P200

As I mentioned earlier, my Xingbao Vespa P200 has finally arrived from the Arvo Brothers after almost 6 weeks. I ordered it from Irene Lee aka LEPINBLOCKS Store for 31,63 €. The dispatch took place via ePacket and cost me some nerves again

The whole thing was wrapped in bubble wrap and another layer of gray foil to be held together with a lot of tapes.

Gray foil down and comes to light a bobble bubble wrap and the manual

I counted 19 bags of stones, the highest number I could find on the bags was also 19.

The bags have the typical numbers (set number plus consecutive number) that you already know from eg Lepin plus a number (1 to 4) for the different stages of construction. Unfortunately, not all bags have a number for the corresponding construction section and the numbers are sometimes barely visible on the bags.

The chrome parts look very good due to the bags

There are no stickers in this set, the stones are printed

Amador and Ramón (Arvo Brothers) are featured on the first page of the manual

The manual is divided into corresponding sections

The choice between A and B model can be made during construction. Personally, I find that better than a second manual.

Here begins the second phase of construction

Here are both construction variants showed again

Phase three begins

Apparently, mistakes have already been corrected in the construction manual. Here the whole page was covered with a sticker.

Construction section four

And more corrections

On the last page, there is still a picture of the built A and B variant

In the beginning, I already wondered or feared to have received the wrong building instructions because only the white Vespa is shown. Had I read the explanation on the second page, I would have known that there is only one instruction manual for both variants. However, I do not know how to separate gray and chrome colored parts during construction.

supplement

It has all the bags, except for one, a number from 1 to 4 for the construction sections. I had probably just caught a bag without a number when looking through. It is the bag number 19.

Here the bags sorted by construction section …
