 Well detailed, authentic, yet VERY sturdyMay 31, 2008
By Disgruntled Post-Doc
I happened to spot one of these models for sale at the gift shop in the Air and Space museum in San Diego and was struck by the colour, which really did look like the Red Baron Red I grew up reading about. Rightly or wrongly, I remember it have a white cowling like this model, rather than the red cowling often seen, although both might be correct. I didn't buy it at the time, but it stayed in my mind, and I purchased it later through Amazon.
The truly marvelous and remarkable thing about this model is its strength. I had intended to give it to my son when he was older, but it seemed so strudy I gave it to him immediately. He has had it for 5 months, carrying it everywhere, dropping it, playing with it. He just turned two a few days ago, so you can imagine the abuse it has suffered. But, with the exception of the tail, which broke off once, and is now superglued on, it looks brand new and unscathed.
When one considers the price, this is a remarkable model. Authentic AND tough.

 Nice for the money, but no way for a five minute assembly!Jan 07, 2009
By New World Mike
"NWM of New World Toys and Collectibles!"
The amount of detailing for the model was rather nice with good effects on the tri-wings and along the fuselage. However, assembly was a major pain with the connecting rods for the body have a very nasty habit of popping out and getting lost. I wound up having to pry it back apart to reseat the two pieces. The rear tail is very fragile as well, and we have to resort to gluing it in place. So, it was a nice buy for the price, but be prepared to have some patience (and tweezers) for assembly.

 A beauty but hard to assemblyJan 10, 2009

I bought this plane as a Christmas for my six-year-old son. He was impressed by the beauty of this plane but his father was complaining for how hard it was to assembly for the whole Christmas day.

 Not impressedMar 09, 2010
By Jane Austin
"mellow fellow"
Impossible to read/follow instructions.Make diagrams bigger. Flimsy. Will do if left on a stand where it never needs to be touched, but won't last at all with handling.

Clunky and not at all authenticMar 08, 2009
By R. Larkins
Color scheme is all wrong as the plane uses the white cowl and wheel covers never used on the Baron's plane, though the ident crosses are correct. The wings attach using screws and large, thick clunky lugs on the struts that detract from the over-all look of the plane (which is why all of the pics of the E-Z build planes are taken from above). Build time is more like an hour, not five minutes as advertised. If you are looking for an accurate model of this plane, this ain't it. Check out the Revell Germany 1:28 scale kit, or any other of the glue kits available for an accurate display model.
That said, this is a great toy for kids, and might get them interested in the history of aviation as it's something different from all of the jet toys out there. It is, also, a good introduction to model building (with adult help and supervision reccomended) as no glue or painting is necessary. I bought a dozen of the EZ plane kits at Christmas time for our local "Santa Cops" program and they were glad to get them, and word is that they were well received.
So, bottom line is--Good display model: no; great toy for kids:yes
