GREAT VALUE AND QUALITY. Airfix is very good model company. These snap together models are ideal for 8 and up. My 8 year old put it together in less than 45 minutes. The snap together tank tracks took a little longer ,but they stay together. An adult will need to help adjust them a little. You can YouTube it to see how easy it is to assemble. He was super excited at his first 1/35 scale tank. I highly recommend this brand . Stay away from those block builds for this age group. The helicopter was a piece of cake to put together for my 10yr old. The tank was a little more because of the track system was a little more complicated but I help my 8yr old through it and he was very happy with outcome. Good buy on both items.

Yes, to my grandson. This is another one that he has that I had bought through Amazon. He enjoyed putting it together for the hour or so that it took. He needs something more challenging.

The Airfix Quickbuild series is perfect for beginner hobbyists. Simple, clear assembly instructions. Sections snap/fit together beautifully and remain tightly held. Decals are great - but need a delicate and steady hand to be put in place accurately. My 6 year grandson could largely put it together with minimal assistance (decals and the rotor were tricky for him). The rotors (top and tail) do not remain in position if the copter is moved around (as kids wont to). Possibly, these assemblies were a bit forcefully put in place creating a bit of play in the housings. All in all, a great finished product which is also a good display piece.

I've bought a series of these for my 90 year old father who suffered a traumatic brain injury after a fall. He always loved building models and he can do these on his own - they are just the right level to challenge and engage him without frustrating him or being too easy. I'll keep buying them for him!

I was looking for an intermediate scale between 1/32 and 1/48 to go with my 1/32 WW2 figures and 1/38 scale vehicles and this worked perfectly. The wingspan measures exactly 10 inches so this puts the scale right at 1/39. It was easy to assemble even for an old 66 year old like me, not having built a model in over 40 years. Took me maybe 30 minutes? I definitely needed the instructions though. I think this model could have been made with fewer pieces. Once together I noticed the wing assembly was not that solid so I glued the smaller pieces that make up the wings. I also glued the little red knob to the propeller to keep the propeller from popping off once assembled. Once I applied the decals I then sprayed a few coats of Krylon clear coat to permanently adhere the decals. Will definitely get the P51 and Spitfire models.

Fun to play with, but do not stay together at all. Really just for display. Stickers don't stay in place well either.

Really fun and cool 3D puzzle plane! Looks great even if it isn’t the same scale as the 1/72 fighter jets.

Quite simple to assemble with the grandkids and looks fantastic when done. Suggestion is to augment assembly with plastic modelers glue so it holds up during missions flown by a 5 year old pilot.
