Yes, this is what we all seem to like. In my eyes this is at least the best set
since 5571 - maybe even better! It got my 100% vote.

I have made some small chances to give room for the legs of a technic figure.
Additionally the seat had to be placed a little deeper, but then it worked
perfectly!

With the blueprint of the Camel telling it is 8 ft. 6 in. high, the

around 1.55 meter.
Kind Regards,
