Minicraft Models Cessna 150 1/48 Scale Review

Minicraft Models Cessna 150 1/48 Scale
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Over many years (72) I've built a lot of plastic models...mostly the good old standard, Revell. After several hours of working on this one it's going in the garbage. Unless you are a precision jeweler with the patience of Job, don't try it. Parts don't fit well and the instructions are very poor. Many times it's hard to tell where to cut the flashing. Even if and when you ever finished this model you'd have to put it in a glass display case, it's so fragile. Very poorly designed kit. I guess I'll have to break down and buy one of the expensive solid models available.

For many pilots, this was the first plane they learned to fly. Simple, forgiving, but just remember, keep the landing speed at 60 mph! (At least that?s what my instructor told me.) This model has a removable engine cowling, which allows you look at the detailed engine and accessories. You can see through the cockpit windows to view the instrument panel, controls and seats. The landing gear is covered by streamlined parts and, to finish it off, the decals offer a colorful red, yellow and black design.

Cars Lightning Storm McQueen Review

Cars Lightning Storm McQueen
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just got this for my son for his 5th birthday. He's been asking for it for months. It's hard to find in the stores but $30.00 is a lot for it. Shop around and you can find it a little cheaper.
My son LOVES his Lightning Storm Mcqueen. He got a lot of CARS stuff for his birthday and this, he says, is his very favorite.
When you press the button on the top or make him move, he makes sounds. It is really loud but I'm finding that is the case with more toys nowadays. No volume button but there is an off/on switch. My son mostly plays with the sound off.
He loves to pop the wings out and shoot the missiles and bombs. The missiles shoot out about 5 feet or so. It took us a little while to figure out how to get the wings out and for him to actually be able to do it. Once-in-a-while they stick and don't come completely out.
I recommend this toy. I'm even getting one for my nephew. Even with a few minor issues, my son still loves this toy and has a lot of fun with it. Even my 7 yr. old daughter plays with it.

Pull up the spoiler to pop out his wings, then launch missiles and drop bombs. Requires 3 button-cell batteries, included.

I purchased this product and it came well packaged. I started to build they product and was dissapointed in the detal of the cockpit (they wanted me to place a sticker) so I ended up just painting my own details in the cockpit. The instructions could be a lot more specific and some parts seemed like they were meant for the model. Overall it a pretty good model, but there are better!

My airplane lego lovers think these are fabulous, the engines and tail falls off all the time (really frustrating to the 3 year old, and mom always looking for them ) but the stickers do a great job holding the body of the plane together. My 5 year old put it together easily on his own. I totally recommend it, my kids love them, we have three different ones.

You get what you pay for with this one. Incredible details, like moveable ailerons and rudders and all the rivits make it very convincing. Looks good on it's landing gear or on the stand. Very accurate and extremely impressive.

Forces of Valor 1:32 Scale UK Spitfire MK IX model is an accurate military model in diecast metal and plastic.The Supermarine Spitfire was one of the best known fighter aircrafts in World War II. Attributed with the successful defense against the attacking German airplanes during the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire and the Pilots who flew them tipped the scale of airpower in Europe. The Spitfire was infinitely more maneuverable than the Messerschmitt's that they engaged. The steely British pilots made the difference. This Spitfire model is highly collectible and features an abundance of realistic details!

Revell Boeing C-17 Globemaster III Review

Revell Boeing C-17 Globemaster III
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this kit back in January and initially, (and I guess this is the funny part) I thought it was a 1:48 scale kit. Why did I come to this conclusion? because when I did a search for 1:48 scale kits, this came up and also all of my C-130s and B-1Bs (which are 1:48 scale) were all within the $40 to $50 price range.
So lets start things off this way... This is a review for a 1:144 scale Revell-Germany (made in Poland) model of a C-17 Globemaster III. Overall, the kit is good. Details are as to be expected when dealing with a 1:144 scale model. Cargo ramps are positionable, LG bay is ok and so are the engine nacelles.
I'll give it a three star to be fair, but I sincerely think its rather expensive for a 1:144 scale kit.

My husband collects WWII aircraft models and wanted a spitfire that wasn't orange. I couldn't find a metal one, but thought this looked pretty good. It's very nice and looks great in his collection even though it's plastic. I'm happy with the purchase - the packaging was good and the shipping very fast.

InAir E-Z Build - SR-71 Model Kit Review

InAir E-Z Build - SR-71 Model Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My grandson has hit that marvelous age where he expressed interest in building models.
He's not ready for the tedious process of putting together models with dozens or hundreds of parts, painting and detailing them.
So I looked for something suitable and am surprised and delighted with the quality of the InAir E-Z Build products.
The SR-71 kit consists of 12 pieces, enough to convey the basic feeling of model building, but no so many as to be confusing or too complicated.
The pieces are surprisingly detailed. All the markings are pre-applied. In the case of the SR-71, even the unit insignia is included.
The model snaps together and the fit of the pieces is quite good. Eight supplied screws hold the pieces together.
The model itself is durable and could be used for day-to-day play. However, the landing gear and rudder surfaces are almost guaranteed to snap off with any even moderately aggressive handling. So you or your young one might want to keep the unit displayed on the supplied displayed stand.
I really enjoyed helping my grandson put this together and am looking forward to building many others in this series. Good products and an excellent way to introduce a young person to model building.
Jerry
