Model background

The evil Red Skull has seized the cosmic cube and is bringing chaos to the world in the rugged Hydra off-road vehicle with working suspension wheels, rotating turret, and dual flick missiles.

Hop on the motorcycle and race Captain America to the rescue! Will he be able to disarm it using his impenetrable shield and recover the cosmic cube? This playset includes three minifigures with assorted accessories: Captain America, Red Skull, and a Hydra henchman.

Model Box

This is a small LEGO box but as usual it is half empty.

Manuals

It is a simple set so it has just one booklet.

Building experience

This set is mainly about building the tank, it is really nice to see how they designed the suspension using LEGO parts. I have seems similar tricks on LEGO Technic but here the concept is simply lovely because there are no eye candies.

Here is the video review and the timelapse building.

Captain America’s Bike

Close to nothing to build here but the bike looks awesome. I really love this little Captain America with his shield riding it.
