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

It was great since it is almost totally assembled.

My nephew loved this plane!

A bit tough for a child to assemble. Otherwise it’s a nice model of the Tuskegee Redtail P-51

I tried looking all over for a Piper or low-wing model to use as a training model, but I couldn’t find any except those small Hot Wheels toys- even Sporty’s website didn’t have anything. This fit the bill because not only was it a low-wing, but also a tail-dragger. Not to mention it’s a Tuskegee replica, and those guys were All-American real-life heroes whose story could motivate any Pilot! Simple to put together (needs model cement- not included) in about 10 minutes. It’s about 8” in length. The landing gear also extends and retracts. I’ll be recommending this to all my other fellow Flight Instructors!

The media could not be loaded. This plane was for my sons school project, the moment we got it we felt it was very light which was one red flag but the real problem is when we tried assembling it. The materiel was cheap, a lot of pieces were missing and or didn’t fit. It was like something you get from the dollar store! They sent us another one but its the same deal.

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.

The media could not be loaded. 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. :)

My grandson will like this, it was on his wish list.
