InAir Sky Champs BF-109 Messerschmitt Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did not receive the plane pictured - a Sky Champ plane with pull-back action spinning propeller. The plane looked the same, but no pullback stand or propeller mechanism. You can save yourself $4 and get the same type kit by InAir, but have some fun building it by getting the following:

SMITHSONIAN InAir E-Z Build - P51 Mustang Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked this up for a 6-year old boy at the Andrew Air Force Base airshow. We were able to mostly assemble it sitting under a tree at the show, while waiting for the line for the buses to queue down. I say mostly because at one piece - part of the tail - was poorly cast and would not fit. The kit came with a small screw driver, so in theory no tools are needed. Once home, I was able to use a knife to make the one piece fit and later cut off a small piece of the landing gear so they better fold up into the wing. While the control surfaces do not move, the prop turns and the landing gear folds up and down. The instructions are drawings, there are no words. No painting or gluing was required.
But for that hassle, the boy plays and plays and plays with it. It has encouraged him to ask many questions about airplanes, how they work and how these planes were used. It has encouraged him to learn more about WWII and history. It has held up well under some pretty rough play.
Additionally, I love the look of the model. It just looks great and seems to be a very nice, for the price, scale model of the Mustang. It would certainly look good on a desk as well.
I would not hesitate to purchase it again.

Disney Mack Truck Playset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son loves this toy (he's [...]), it allows McQueen to do many activities inside Mack. It is thin plastic though and seems like it would break easily if it fell or was thrown. As it is, sometimes when he plays it, pieces come off easily-though they pop back on quickly. If you have infants at home, I would steer clear of this toy for that reason. If it were a little sturdier, I would have given it 5 stars.

Inspired by the hit Disney Pixar move, Cars, the Mack Truck Bachelor Pad Play set expresses the racy personality of Lightning McQueen, the leading car in the film. In the movie, McQueen gets waylaid on his way to a big race, and ends up in Radiator Springs. It's a little run down for this flashy hot rod, but the eccentric small-town folk-mobiles teach McQueen all about friends, family and love. Now kids can bring these loveable characters home and recreate their favorite scenes from the movie with this detailed play set. The play set opens to reveal a truck bed pad packed with play features, including a carwash, a video game area, a weighing scale and more, where McQueen crashes after a long day of racing.

Maisto Fresh Metal Tailwinds 1:87 Scale Die Cast United States Military Aircraft : U.S. Army Air Force World War II Twin-Engine Monoplane Night Fighter and Intruder Aircraft P-61 Black Widow with Display Stand (Dimension: 5-1/4" x 3-1/2" x 1") Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All Maisto Tailwinds models (regardless of which aircraft) are about the same overall size. Some of the ads shown on Amazon for these models are possibly incorrect as far as the "Scale" listed. For instance, if it is a "large" aircraft like a bomber or airliner or something big in real life, there is no way it is going to be 1/87 scale in this diecast model. More like 1/200 scale (at least.) Make sure you look at the DIMENSIONS of the model instead of the scale listed. The dimensions will be shown in the ad. Rely more on the dimensions than what scale is shown in the title or description.

InAir WWII Planes 6-pc Set with Aircraft ID Guide - Assortment 1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Our 3yo son is a plane lover already, helped by the fact that his daddy, pop pop and uncle all like planes and are helping him to learn the different names and for what they were used. These little sets have helped to continue his interest in a fun way. Some of the propellers have come off due to normal 3yo play, so they probably wouldn't be great for kids much younger.

Smithsonian Museum Replica Series, P-40 Warhawk - 1/48 Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like most all the other Smitsonian planes, the P-40 is durable, detailed and great as either a toy or for display. Mine had a prop that was slightly loose, but still functioned great and looks good sitting the shelf with the others.
