Airfix A50157A D-Day 75th Anniversary Air Assault Gift Set, 1: 76 Scale

Great customer service from this company. I gad a small problem which was resolved easily and quickly. Fantastic.

This is a bit pricey, but made a great birthday present for someone whose birthday is on D-Day. They were thrilled with it, especially as it's lockdown and many people are looking to try new creative hobbies.

The aircraft model is detailed and well rendered. The vehicles went together well and needed little, beyond basic tools and skills to create, a pleasing diorama. For a person new to model building the inclusion of paints and glue is a bonus but most will choose to use a wider palette and a different glue. The detailed transfers are impressive, but difficult to handle, as many are tiny and need a magnifier to see them applied correctly.The guns require part of the wing to be cut out to display them in the act of loading - perhaps not something for a first time builder!The only real negative was the type of plastic used for the figures. It is an 'oily' plastic that paint does not adhere to well and is difficult to glue with standard modelling glues (if, for example you choose to fix mechanics on to the wings and the pilot somewhere on the aircraft).

Great kit to build and 3 model, the crew and paints and glue, not for the beginner. But for the more experienced

Really nice airfix kit the figures are a pain to paint but the vehicles and nice hardly any flash.

When my son opened this the paints were all dried out and unusable.

as described

Every paint pot was bone dry and unable to complete model kit.
