This was a good kit to put together. Quick and somewhat easy to assemble. Instructions were easy and gave great detail. i like this kit.
Hi Adam, thanks a lot for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed building it and hope it gives you many hours of listening pleasure for years to come :)
Just a bunch of cheap Chinese components with no instructions whatsoever. I was expecting an educational electronics kit perhaps useful for a child with an interest in STEM. Junk don’t waste your money.
Hello PMAC, thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and sorry to hear you were not satisfied with the product. The product page clearly calls out what is included in the kit and states that the kit is for 'intermediate level enthusiasts'. Someone at intermediate level would know that the locations for installing all components is clearly marked on the PCB and they only need to install the relevant components to the positions marked on the board. However, for people who need a bit more detail, the product page also has a link to download very detailed instructions which provide learning benefits and stepwise instructions for building the kit (I'd encourage you to check these out if you haven't already built the kit). We also have links to other educational resources on the product page, including a free blog covering everything that one needs to know to get started building and learning about electronics, and a video that provides further relevant information. The overwhelming majority of ratings for this product have been 4 or 5 stars, which indicates that the product meets expectations of the vast majority of people. What is included is fairly standard for kits of this nature.
The FM radio kit was beautifully presented and a delight to construct. One component was missing from the kit and upon notification Science Hut immediately sent a replacement. I have since ordered several more of their kits and am looking forward to constructing them
Hi Graeme, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us this review, we really appreciate it. We're delighted that we could 'make it right' when you found a part missing from your kit and we're glad to see it didn't put you off ordering from us again :) feel free to make contact any time with any questions. we're always at your service. Best wishes with building your latest kits!
As an electronics enthusiast, I recently embarked on an exciting journey with the DIY Radio Building Kit, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. This kit truly stands out as a remarkable introduction to the world of radio electronics and soldering projects.
From the moment I opened the box, it was clear that this kit was designed with both education and enjoyment in mind. The components were neatly organized, and the instructions were detailed and easy to follow. Each step of the assembly process was explained with clarity, making it accessible even for those new to soldering and electronics.
Building the FM radio was not only an engaging project but also a deeply rewarding one. The hands-on experience of soldering the components and watching the radio take shape was incredibly satisfying. It provided a fantastic opportunity to deepen my understanding of electronic components and radio frequency principles.
One of the highlights of this kit is the educational value it offers. As I assembled the radio, I learned about various components such as resistors, capacitors, transistors, and how they interact to create a functional radio. The process sparked my curiosity and significantly enhanced my STEM skills.
Once completed, the radio worked perfectly, and tuning into different stations was a joy. The sense of accomplishment and pride that came with building a fully functional transistor radio from scratch is unmatched. This kit not only ignites a passion for radio electronics but also delivers the satisfaction of creating something tangible and useful.
I highly recommend the DIY Radio Building Kit to anyone interested in electronics, whether you are a beginner or have some experience. It's an excellent project for individuals looking to dive into the world of soldering and radio electronics. Kudos to the creators for designing such a comprehensive and enjoyable kit.

Kit fonctionnel - Facile à monter hormis les deux composants de surface multi pâtes où il faut faire attention à la position et de ne pas trop chauffer
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review Philippe - we really appreciate it. Thanks for sharing your experience and advice regarding the installation of the surface mounted devices in this kit. We agree, they are somewhat more difficult than the simpler through-hole components; patience and attention to detail is key!
