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

Horrible quality, was not able to fit one piece into the other. After about 10 tries, I left it in a pile. Please find a quality model this is not what you're looking for.

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. :)

I'm not a big model builder or collector, but I enjoyed this purchase. I wouldn't be afraid to let a kid play with it. A few things to know (I bought several of these for a project, so I got experienced putting them together): the pieces are in the blister wrap TIGHT and will go flying out when you finally pry them free. Look sharp for the clear plastic part, it's hard to see! I threw my first one away without realizing it was still tightly wedged in the plastic. No glue required, but some were easier to put together than others, and a needed a metal nail file to file down some plastic parts (especially by the landing gear) to make everything fit. I also had to file the plastic on the stand to get it to fit in 1-2 of the planes. Not everything fit perfectly, and sometimes it was difficult to get things to stay together long enough to get a pin on. The directions aren't very helpful, and I put a pin in close to the tail, but put it in where the tiny back landing wheel was supposed to go and it was HELL to get it back out when I realized my mistake.Overall, fun building project to make a toy plane, and talk about the Tuskegee airman!

It was great since it is almost totally assembled.

Read the description as you have to assemble it. Our parts were malformed and had imperfections. The cockpit canopy broke during installation following the poorly illustrated directions. It just sucks

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.

My nephew loved this plane!

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!
