Revell Boeing C-17 Globemaster III Review

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.

InAir Sky Champs Spitfire Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Revell 1:72 F-18 Blue Angels Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 5 year old son was DYING for a Blue Angels plane for Christmas after seeing the real thing at an airshow. I thought this model would be perfect. He and his father could construct the plane together since it's a "simple" snap together and then my son could fly it around the house to his heart's content. BUT, the pieces did not fit together well and my son soon abandoned the contruction part in frustration leaving my husband to do it himself yet even HE had difficulty getting the parts to fit together and had to use Super Glue on both tail wings because once snapped in, they just sagged flat. The cockpit cover was missing completely from the box, so we went without. The stickers are cool, but so tiny and delicate they could only be applied by an adult. But the worst part is that this model should NOT be described as a "toy." It's so delicate and I was contantly reminding my son to "be very gentle" lest the plane should break and break his heart as well. He finally got tired of not being able to really "play" with the plane, so it now sits on a shelf in his bedroom untouched. Final verdict: this is a model for much older children to assemble and display, NOT a toy for a child to enjoy. And it's not even that great of a model, either. Big disappointment.

1:72 scale. The sleek F-18 fighter is used extensively by the U.S. Navy, but is probably best known for its use by the Blue Angels aerobatics team. Features: Easy snap-together construction, parts molded in color, special decal sheet with one set of authentic markings and a bonus set of custom graphics such as lightning bolts and shark jaws.

PBY-5 Catalina USAF Rescue Aircraft Built-Up Die Cast 1-150 Model Power Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK, let me start with the fact that I am a fan of Model Power toys, some of which are sold under the IXO and DelPrado names as well. If you do your price-comparison homework, you will find most of these airplanes are in the $10 - $15 range, which is very reasonable, considering other firms charge over $20 for their airliner models.
What you get is a 1/100 scale model of a Consolidated PBY5 Catalina, with retracted gear and wingtip floats. This is currently one of three schemes the company offers, so check out the others and decide which one you like best before committing. At about 6 inches in length, she is a small bird. This has advantages and disadvantages. The small size makes for a nice model that takes up little space. The main disadvantage is that a scale such as 1/144 would be more in line with other commercial airplane models on the market. In addition, on the plus side, Model Power's policy of making models that "fit the box" helps ensure the prices for these little treasures are consistent and do not vary too much according to aircraft type; on the minus side, this policy is something of an anachronism in this day and age; its scale may not be compatable with other Model Power offerings. Nothing is perfect in the real world - or fantasy world, either.
Most important, does the model accurately depict its subject? You bet! My two complaints are minor: the elevator is made of plastic (though that is a weakness of some airplane miniatures costing far more, as well) and the cockpit windows are a tiny bit off. Otherwise, the detailing is truly impressive, both in the shape of the model and the detailed painting. As with much costlier replicas, no decals are used - everything is painted on! This little guy does full justice to the beauty and grace of the original aircraft, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to any collector (I say "collector," as the plane, though sturdy, is defintely a not toy to be played with).

InAir E-Z Build Model Kit - Sopwith Camel F.1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This model kit is great for young collectors, not top notch, but it is a very neat kit. The diagram of how to build it is black in white so you might have some trouble reading it but it is readable. The pieces have some trouble snapping together, but the screws are very well made and fit in there whole well. Also, the plane has some trouble balancing on the stand but don't be worried when it rocks side-to-side a bit because it is just find it's comfortable position. If you are wondering how the pieces stick together there are 11 screws, and grooves where all the pieces are supposed to fit. There is no glue so no mess will be created. The kit comes with all the supplies you need, like screwdriver, screws and any thing else you need to construct it. In all a rate this about a 4 1/2 stars.

Tiger I Ausf E Heavy Tank Plastic Model Kit by Revell Germany Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a nice little tank that is reasonably easy to build. As in many tank models the tracks are the biggest challenge. Took me several hours to build and enjoyed it. With this scale, you might want to make sure you have a magnifying glass and tweezers, some small parts. Can't beat the quality versus price. Revell just makes nice models. Looks good.
