World War II Replica Fighter Air Planes ClassicAircraft P-51D Red Tails 1:48 by New Ray

A great gift for my grandson, 10. No glue mess for mom and dad either!

A little hard to assemble BUT very cool and realistic I am a ww2 geek and this is soo cool and fun. I am very happy with it but it was kinda hard to put together BUT worth it if you buy it for a kid use adult supervision for assembly but very good and is more than I expected. :)

I'm not a big model builder or collector, but I enjoyed this purchase. I wouldn't be afraid to let a kid play with it. A few things to know (I bought several of these for a project, so I got experienced putting them together): the pieces are in the blister wrap TIGHT and will go flying out when you finally pry them free. Look sharp for the clear plastic part, it's hard to see! I threw my first one away without realizing it was still tightly wedged in the plastic. No glue required, but some were easier to put together than others, and a needed a metal nail file to file down some plastic parts (especially by the landing gear) to make everything fit. I also had to file the plastic on the stand to get it to fit in 1-2 of the planes. Not everything fit perfectly, and sometimes it was difficult to get things to stay together long enough to get a pin on. The directions aren't very helpful, and I put a pin in close to the tail, but put it in where the tiny back landing wheel was supposed to go and it was HELL to get it back out when I realized my mistake. Overall, fun building project to make a toy plane, and talk about the Tuskegee airman!

I had a great time building this item with my Grandson as well as teaching the history of the RED TAILS.

It was great since it is almost totally assembled.

I bought two of these kits as "escort planes" to accompany a large B-17 bomber model of the same scale I plan to hang in my home library. The kits look just okay, with imperfect painting, mediocre parts fit, and one very visible screw. This is not a kit for kids, despite its apparently simplicity and no need for paint or glue. What makes this kit hard to assemble are VERY tight parts fit, and the amount of pressure you need to apply to the screws when tightening them all the way. You need a fair amount of strength and a better screwdriver than the kit comes with to do it. From more than a few feet away this model looks acceptably good and I'll have no complaints from the distance I'll be viewing it hanging from my ceiling, which is mostly what I based my review score on. However, if you gift this to a child make sure an adult will be around to help.

Very poor quality. Parts don't match up well at all, came missing pieces, very badly molded plastic with gaps and excess material everywhere. Doesn't look good enough to even be a display piece for a blind man, but far too fragile to be a toy. I expected cheap Made in China junk, but this didn't even meet my very low expectations.

Our grandson love this plane. He plays with it all the time.

Parts don’t fit together very well and other parts very unclear as how assembly is made. Very poor finish for a number of parts.

buen regalo para e precio.

Every part securely placed in the box. A bit challenging to assemble but at the end looks great! Will buy this brand again.

Los Pernos no entran debidamente algunas piezas se les tiene que recortar el material de muy baja calidad instrucciones muy difícil de entender hay piezas que tiene uno que adivinar

Gears were the hardest part I’d say
