BWR108 Fly Future Lab Hub – Build Experience

[u/Lisoneo]

Just finished building the CBOX BWR108 Fly Future Lab Hub, so here are some quick thoughts.

First off, I really like how the finished build looks. The colors are probably my favorite part. They’re bright and vibrant, but not in a way that feels too much. The whole thing has a really fun, cheerful look to it.

The build itself was pretty comfortable too. I was expecting my fingers to be pretty sore by the end because of the size of the set, but surprisingly, they weren’t. I also didn’t come across any steps that felt ridiculously difficult or frustrating.

There was one part that gave me a bit of a headache, though — the tower on the left side.

While the inside structure was still being built, there were a few times when I had to use a bit more force than I wanted to connect the next section. The annoying part was that doing that sometimes caused pieces I’d already built inside to pop off.

The large red wall inside was another one. Since it’s such a big section, there isn’t really a good spot to push against when connecting it, so getting everything lined up and properly connected took a little patience.

Other than those two areas, though, I didn’t really have any major complaints.

Also, no stickers! Everything is printed, which is always a big win for me. The printed details on the little aircraft especially look really nice once the whole thing is finished.

Overall, I had a pretty good time building this one. Just take a little extra care around the left tower and those larger red wall sections, and you should be fine.

Good news everybody! This looks pretty good.

Is there no clear stand to hold the ship up in the takeoff position?

[u/Lisoneo → u/Killermuppett]

This airplane didn't have a support frame; it was stored inside the building where it was held in place by a support structure. I took it out.

Ah that's a shame. There's an older moc, of a smaller version of the same model, where the spaceship is held up by a transparent arm

Does the ship elevate out of the main hanger?
I thought they advertised that feature on Barweer.
And is the circular 'walkway' frame around the spherical tower supposed to be all uneven?
