Airfix J6009 Quickbuild Model Airplane Kits for Adults & Kids - Harrier - Fighter Jet Plastic Model Kits, Block Building Sets, Snap Together Aircraft Models, Engineering Toys for Gifts

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.

I have put together a lot of traditional military models over the years but one in awhile I like to throw together something easy and I have bought a few of the Airfix like the ME109. This Harrier model goes together quickly, the directions are clear and the fit is pretty nice. A little spray paint and some decals from other model kits and it looks very nice.

The toy was awesome. The only reason I did not give a five star rating is because it was pretty hard to put together. I don’t mean complicated, but rather the pieces didi not easily fit together. There was no way my 5 year old could put this together by himself, which was ok because I bought it for us to build together. I also got the spitfire and that fit together rather nicely. So maybe it was just our model. For the money, For the cool factor, and to get the kids interested in models, this was a great purchase and worth the money.

Like most of the Airfix Quickbuild line of models, the Harrier was fairly easy to build. The instructions are actually easy to read, or at least to follow. Part color coding that matches the instructions really help. Be advised that some minor shaving of parts may be need to have everything fit.

Airfix's Quick Build range is a bit like a cross between a traditional Airfix model and a Lego kit. Actually, it's more Lego than Airfix and when Lego's patent ran out recently, Airfix clearly saw an opportunity for a construction kit for younger, budding model builders. So, this is something that falls somewhere between a real model and a toy. Whereas a "proper" Airfix kit will require glue, paint, a fair bit of time and no little skill, the "Quick Build" line is constructed very much along the line of Lego kit. You get about 30 parts, some stickers and a nicely visual instruction sheet and a stand and the whole thing simply clips together in a few minutes to produce something that looks rather like a Harrier jump-jet. This particular kit isn't quite as good as some of the other Quick Builds. The fit of the parts ain't great and some force was required to get some oif the bits to mate properly - also, the wings in particular were a little unsatisfactory. The instruction sheet was also a tad off and I'm pretty sure that the recommended order of construction for the fuselage parts was wrong - I would suggest using the instructions as a guide and following your instincts. On the other hand, once constructed, it looks pretty good and there is a surprising amount of surface detail. All in all, although it is let down a bit by the overall quality, this is a nice looking kit and good enough to serve as a toy, an introduction for the young up-and-coming modeller or a quirky desk ornament for a grown-up aircraft enthusiast.

La maquette est composée de pièces qui ressemblent à des Lego et qui s'emboîte de la même façon. La notice est bien faite pour cela. La maquette se construit couche après couche et le résultat final est assez beau et surtout solide ! Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de peinture pour rendre la maquette plus réaliste (là il y a juste 3 pauvres autocollants qui n'ont pas tenu plus de 30 minutes...). C'est le seul défaut sinon j'ai pu l'assembler avec mon fils de 7 ans est lui donnant juste un coup de main pour renforcer l'assemblage. Les maquettes Revell easykit sont mieux et plus réalistes ( Revell - Maquette - Tornado : elles constituent une meilleure approche du modélisme. En revanche, les maquettes Airfix QuickBuild sont très solides et résisteront mieux à des chutes répétées.

Perfecto para niños a partir de 5 años aunque necesitarán ayuda de un adulto para montarlo. Único defecto que no sea un AV8B+ ;P

Gute Verarbeitung und Passgenauigkeit! Ein großer Spaß für Groß und Klein! Es entsteht ein richtiges Modell und der zusammenbauen funktioniert wirklich wie Lego! Sieht top aus! Nur die Aufkleber sind nicht wirklich gut halten nicht gut! Aber sonst super!

so cool and so easy to assemble. detail level is surprisingly high and scale is good too. got it for Rs. 979/- (including shipping) and worth every penny. for a better idea about the scale of the model follow the link- www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qMlA3y_rPw

My kids love them. Easy and fun to assemble. Good quality.
