Assembly was a joy but a word of warning take your time as some parts look the same and if you rush at it mistakes will be made.The most difficult part was the water spout and chain assembly but not because of the parts but unsteady hands:rofl:
The finished water tower is very sturdy and is a beautiful kit from Piko the pictures don't do it justice it is much bigger than i expected .I am very happy with my present well wort the money:D

Re:piko Rio Grande Water Tower Review

Been fancying one of these kits myself even though I did start making one from scratch (which I'm convinced is too small as I posted earlier). Are the tank retaining straps moulded into the sides or are they separate parts?
