Beijing’s world-famous Forbidden City is renowned for its scale. Covering 72 hectares, the City contains more than 90 palaces and courtyards, 980 buildings and over 8,728 rooms. At each corner of the City’s walls are 4 towers resembling Chinese temples built in 1420 as defensive measures. . Our precoloured brass and steel model kit shows all the original details of one of these Watch Towers, making a great build experience and a model to display with pride.
