A week ago I acquired a copy of 5571. It took 2 full evenings to put it
together and it was well worth the inflated eBay price. Overall it is an
outstanding very detailed set and is definitely a keeper. I'd give it a
rating of 10 out of 10.
The 5563 looks to be the same scale and even though it is a smaller set, it
looks like it might be a great companion to the 5571. At $88 S&H price it
seems to be a bit expensive and the average price per piece is higher at $0.11
per piece compared to $0.08 on the 5571. There is also what looks like a big
specialized chrome piece on the front which shows a sign on a SPUD. But
anyway, compared to the 5571, is it worth getting?

| I got one for Christmas but still haven't had a chance to put it together. It's definitely overpriced. The big chrome piece couldn't have been pieced together from smalling existing pieces but I definitely would have preferred it to be 2 or 3 (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-00, to lugnet.modelteam)
