Airfix Model Airplane Kit Starter Set - A55010 Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II, Plastic Plane Model Kits for Adults & Kids 14+, Skill Level 1, 1:72 Scale WW2 Military Aircraft Models

Nice model kit. I'm 53 and hadn't built model since I was a kid and felt the urge to build one. This one came with everything you'd need except a hobby knife, it have plenty of those. Was a fun build. I still need to put on the decals, but my lack of patience eventually won out. Maybe some day.

Great starter kit for my 9yo grandson who loves planes. Was within his capability.

I like that it had nearly everything included -- all that is required, in addition, are small cutters, robust scissors, or a razor blade to remove the pieces from the sprue, and a nail file or bit of sandpaper to smooth some of the edges of the model. This is a serious positive, as it allows someone to put a model together without an investment in paints, and then having random paint pots that don't go to anything, and then buying more models to use the paints, but then buying more paints to complete those models, on and on, and over again. I was free of this madness for over twenty years, and then, perhaps through nostalgia in thinking of simple times, I bought this kit. I have to knock off one star as some of the acrylic paints were dried and it is a terrible pain to bring them back. It can be done with drops of water and a relatively solid implement, such as a chopstick, and then work it until smooth. I decided to use Gordon's gin, rather than water, thinking that it might react better. I'm not sure if it helped the paint, but it certainly helped my mood during the ordeal.

Was my first model I really took seriously. Build was easy and paint scheme is very straightforward. Great for your first one.

Only reason i didnt give a 5 star was the paint that came with the kit was completely dried out. Might be some air or something that seeped into it or the kit may have been in storage for a long time. Tried to "reanimate" the paint with warm water and a little thinner but it was practically clay. lol Honestly everything else was perfect! New scale modelers (like me) will love this kit. Airmax even had a very handy build guide on Youtube.

I would have given it five stars except two of the paint colors were dry. We were able to rehydrate both with warm water enough to use with some lumps.

I wanted to get back into the hobby quickly and easily, so thought this was a great concept. Unfortunately, 3 of the 4 paint jars came dry and almost bone dry rendering them unusable. I now think these sets should be avoided, especially since Amazon sells normal kits at a price which is competitive, even with paint purchase. You might spend a couple dollars more but this will ensure usable paints and more of it for the next project. Paints provided are RAF Dark Green, RAF Ocean Grey, RAF Medium Sea Grey and Flat Black. Otherwise the glue was acceptable and parts do fit together nicely, except for the prop shaft which needs resizing. I found returns are not possible for this, one must contact product support, it took over 3 weeks to get replacement paint, sans one.

Sorry to say my Messerschmitt Bf109F-4 Airfix Box came in a corrugated box with no padding or support. The Airfix box was slightly compressed, so much I was wondering about the inside items. Luckily no damage to the contents.

Unfortunately 2 of the 4 paint pots (light grey and the black) were totally dried up! Anyway, I like it so much! Planning to get more of it.

The model is easy build, however, that doesn't mean you will not get a very good reproduction of the spitfire mark v. Parts fit well together requiring minimum sanding and Decals are pretty good too.

Great starter kit for our kids. Minimal supervision and assistance required to build and paint these for 10-12 years old. Nice mouldings with clear details.
