Most likely an assembly error.
Sorry, this forum does not allow picture uploads
If you can provide LINKS (e.g. by using a free online picture base) to HI-RES and SHARP pics of your assembly (both solder- and component side)
then we can take a look and provide some feedback.
Some solderings look poor and might need rework.
Make sure to scrape off the laquer from the winding wire and make sure to thin the wires. Otherwise they will not make an electrical contact.
Winding needs to very tight and neat. Mind the direction.
Make sure ZD1 and D1 are not swapped.
Make sure LED position is correct.
Like VEL417 said.
It looks like you did not scrap the lacquer coating off of windings before you soldered it.
On kit 2 it looks like the same thing as kit 1 and the windings look like they are backwards.
