Review Summary

The reviews highlight that the kit is well-regarded for its detailed and realistic appearance, with nicely molded pieces and simple instructions. However, assembly can be challenging, particularly with the chain link fence, which is often described as difficult to construct due to issues with posts, rails, and mesh. Some users also noted problems like warped bases and fragile parts, though customer service was praised for resolving issues.

Excellent Kit

By: jeremy.s.michels1

This is an excellent kit. It is a good addition to the Northern Light and Power House. The pieces are nicely molded and there is very little clean up. The kit comes with a base, but it is not needed depending on the size of the space that you are trying to fill. The chain link fence that comes with the kit can be tricky to put together.

Very realistic looking substation

Difficult assembly

By: eburg199 (Clearwater, FL)

Kit had a warped base. Contacted Walthers and they supplied at NC a new base (great CS). Kit is difficult to assemble with many parts which must be trimmed to fit and are difficult to position properly. The chain link supplied fence is a nightmare to put together properly requiring a complete buildup. Especially difficult are the upper and lower rails which must be glued to the fence posts (those in the kit were not straight) prior to applying the mesh. Gates are difficult to attach properly and must be positioned either open or closed.
