Educational never, it's mean't to be played with, put on show, or as I have used it, mainstream model with firemen tackling a small fire outside a warehouse on a model railway.
Superb Fire Engine, packaging excellent. Details are necessarily very good, there are spaces within the Engine to glue the Firemen in place, rest of the men parked around the fire.
L/Weight, difficult to rationalise, I would say yes.
