Seeking advice for a novice 9YO Technic builder who already built Giant
Model and Tread Trekker and just got 8480 Space Shuttle, eg:

-  How much time to build each model of the 8480 set?

12+ hours.  Be sure to take time while building -- people report that
mistakes can be problematic when they aren't discovered for several steps.
The fiber optics in particular can be troublesome, because they are
sensitive to pressure from being misaligned.

-  Mistakes in printed instructions?

None that I know of.

-  Tips?

Leave pieces in the baggies - they are already pretty well sorted.

-  Other models on www.kl.net/scans possible with these parts?

Don't know, haven't checked.
