Airfix Quickbuild Supermarine Spitfire Airplane Brick Building Plastic Model Kit J6000

GREAT VALUE AND QUALITY. Airfix is very good model company. These snap together models are ideal for 8 and up. My 8 year old put it together in less than 45 minutes. The snap together tank tracks took a little longer ,but they stay together. An adult will need to help adjust them a little. You can YouTube it to see how easy it is to assemble. He was super excited at his first 1/35 scale tank. I highly recommend this brand . Stay away from those block builds for this age group. The helicopter was a piece of cake to put together for my 10yr old. The tank was a little more because of the track system was a little more complicated but I help my 8yr old through it and he was very happy with outcome. Good buy on both items.

I was looking for an intermediate scale between 1/32 and 1/48 to go with my 1/32 WW2 figures and 1/38 scale vehicles and this worked perfectly. The wingspan measures exactly 10 inches so this puts the scale right at 1/39. It was easy to assemble even for an old 66 year old like me, not having built a model in over 40 years. Took me maybe 30 minutes? I definitely needed the instructions though. I think this model could have been made with fewer pieces. Once together I noticed the wing assembly was not that solid so I glued the smaller pieces that make up the wings. I also glued the little red knob to the propeller to keep the propeller from popping off once assembled. Once I applied the decals I then sprayed a few coats of Krylon clear coat to permanently adhere the decals. Will definitely get the P51 and Spitfire models.

My son and I like these and have gotten the BF-109E and the Spitfire MkII. They are good size and fun to put together and play with. These are early war variants of these Aircraft however the P-51 is the later war, D variant. The 109 is completely accurate and matches everything you see. If you are going to get the Spitfire make sure to look at all of the pictures. The Spitfire is not actually as dark in color as it is shown on the box and in the first completed image. As you can see in the other pics, all of the colors are in fact lighter then on the box image. The canopy and stand are much lighter then the ones that came with the 109. I prefer the darker ones on the 109 as you can see the lego like connectors in the Spitfire's canopy because it is so light. Also the stickers for the Spitfire are not good. The lettering for the side of fuselage is a light grey and not dark at all You can't even see the letters once you put it on. My son and I just pulled them back off and cut the roundels out and just put those on it and it looks much better. These are surprisingly accurate. I see many models of these aircraft and many of them take different parts from different variants and basically create and aircraft that never really existed. In fact these are accurate enough that I was able to tell you the variant even though it's not listed.

Really fun and cool 3D puzzle plane! Looks great even if it isn’t the same scale as the 1/72 fighter jets.

I've bought a series of these for my 90 year old father who suffered a traumatic brain injury after a fall. He always loved building models and he can do these on his own - they are just the right level to challenge and engage him without frustrating him or being too easy. I'll keep buying them for him!

Fun to play with, but do not stay together at all. Really just for display. Stickers don't stay in place well either.

Quite simple to assemble with the grandkids and looks fantastic when done. Suggestion is to augment assembly with plastic modelers glue so it holds up during missions flown by a 5 year old pilot.

Fond memories as a kid myself over laboring over model kits, glue, paint, stickers etc. Now my son has lept into the model kit world and we have found these Airfix kits a great way to introduce him to modeling as a hobby. These kits are very well put together and the pieces fit perfectly and being that they assemble similar to Lego it was an easy fit for him. The stickers, however, are tiny and I had to jump in with a toothpick to help out. Overall though, these are fantastic and we have now purchased all available quickbuild kits that Airfix offers. My son is constantly asking if they have released any new ones yet. For the price the fun factor is off the charts good. Very recommended.

Ich kann das Modell nur empfehlen, für die Detailtreue ist verhältnismäßig robust (Spieltauglich).

I'm impressed with this toy. It is built like a Lego but the result is near perfect. It's big, resistent, light and super cool. Had a fight with my 4 year old son because I can't stop playing with it.

Estupendo. Replica muy fiel, no es frágil así que sí es adecuado para niños. Con 5 años necesitarán ayuda de un adulto para montarlo pero participan activamente. Como consejo: cada vez que montes una pieza aprietala al máximo. El resultado final es muy bueno

カテゴリからいえばプラモデルと言うよりも3Dパズル(トイ)に分類されるだろう。スナップキットだがガンプラとは異なり組立後も再度バラしてまた組立可能である。 スケールはノンスケール(箱スケール)ということになっているがScalemateの記載では1/72、しかし実寸を計ったところ1/60ちょうどであった。 当初の目的は素組・無塗装(アルコールマーカーは可)限定の製作会で紹介する為だったが組立後も巡航モードとVTOLモード両再現が可能な35Bのキットはこれが唯一でもある為折角だから(キット本来の意図はぶち壊すが)ちょい足しディティールアップで飛行機モデルとしてのポテンシャルを確認してみた コクピットインテリアにはシートバックと計器盤フードを追加、ストックパーツからパイロットを搭乗させこのキットで唯一残念と感じたカノピをキットパーツを芯にヒートプレスで作り直しカノピブレイカーを内側から取り付け VTOL用リフトファン及び排気口ランプ裏側は実機では内部整流の為のライナーがあるがキットは内側もペラだったのでプラ板とスチレンボードでライナーを追加 エンジンノズルにジャンクパーツから戦車の転輪を用いたバーナーコア風ディティールを追加 タイアをジャンクパーツから径のあう物に付け替え雰囲気を向上 塗装は成形色のままでも悪くはないがRAMコーティングとの色差を出す為結局全面塗装、そこに自作した海上自衛隊仕様デカールを貼ってIFの海上自衛隊・護衛艦かが搭載機として完成させた トイとはいえ発売元は老舗航空機キットメーカーのエアフィックスである。ちょっとの追加工作で見違えるほど雰囲気は変わった(というか、このキットと同社1/72キットは恐らくCADデータを共有している。悪い筈がない) なお、エアフィックスのキットは昔から可動・差し替え・選択ギミックは豊富に盛り込まれる事が多いが可動ギミックは受け座周りの作りが少々雑なのも昔からの伝統である。このキットも胴体上面のリフトファン用ランプや水平安定板の嵌め込みヒンジが露骨に目立つ(まぁロートダインの貨物ドアヒンジよりはマシだけど)上強度もいまひとつなので下面よりも上面のギミック部を差し替えにして欲しかったな、と
