 6-year old has played and played and played...Jun 02, 2010
By R. Bunge
I picked this up for a 6-year old boy at the Andrew Air Force Base airshow. We were able to mostly assemble it sitting under a tree at the show, while waiting for the line for the buses to queue down. I say mostly because at one piece - part of the tail - was poorly cast and would not fit. The kit came with a small screw driver, so in theory no tools are needed. Once home, I was able to use a knife to make the one piece fit and later cut off a small piece of the landing gear so they better fold up into the wing. While the control surfaces do not move, the prop turns and the landing gear folds up and down. The instructions are drawings, there are no words. No painting or gluing was required.
But for that hassle, the boy plays and plays and plays with it. It has encouraged him to ask many questions about airplanes, how they work and how these planes were used. It has encouraged him to learn more about WWII and history. It has held up well under some pretty rough play.
Additionally, I love the look of the model. It just looks great and seems to be a very nice, for the price, scale model of the Mustang. It would certainly look good on a desk as well.
I would not hesitate to purchase it again.
P-51 model is magnificent!Mar 31, 2012
By Terry Sandquist
This P-51 model is magnificent! My ten year-old did most of the prep work but I had to snap it together. It was a fun project, and educational too.
 Good design, but parts don't fit togetherAug 06, 2011
By Gary Bridgman
Once this "E-Z Build" is assembled, by hook or by crook, it's a great toy.
The instructions do not identify critical parts. The internal metal pins used to strengthen the fuselage do not fit in the holes they are supposed to fit in. (Disclaimer: I am only guessing the the holes in question are the right ones, because this operation is not illustrated and it is barely mentioned in the written instructions.)
Again, cool toy, but INFURIATING to assemble.

nice little model, good price, good companyFeb 12, 2012
By Stephen Braddy
I bought this at a local aviation museum. It's a nice looking little toy and there are not too many parts. I bought it to sit on my desk. As other reviewers have mentioned, it can be a little tricky to assemble some of the parts. The metal pins are a very tight fit for the holes. However, this translates into strength once the model is assembled, so I would say that dealing with the tight fit is worth it.
My particular kit had two right side landing gear covers and one screw was the wrong length. I went to the website listed on the box (mightytoy.com) and emailed 'sales' with my problem. A nice fellow named Brad got back to me immediately and my new parts were on the way! Free of charge! I have now received the parts and my model is complete. I normally don't take the time to write a review but I felt compelled to do so because of how well Brad handled my request. And I can easily say that this is a company that stands behind their products.
Overall this is a nice little model for the price! I will probably collect more of the series.
