6-year old has played and played and played...Jun 02, 2010
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.
