Airfix D-Day Air Assault 1:72 WWII Military Diorama Plastic Model Gift Set A50157A, Multi

Upon opening the package, it was found that the paint was dried out and unusable. We will be assembling without painting.

Paints were completely dried out and unusable.

The model is cheap and the parts are small but the kit comes with paint (half of them was dried out) and glue. I added some other things to make it look better.

It was a lot of fun to assemble but the scale does make it a challenge to get right.

Great kit to build. If you like something that is a fiddle to build with plenty of small parts. Then this is the kit for you

El producto es muy bueno, buen detalle y contiene todo lo necesario para realizar un diorama. El único detalle son las pinturas que se abrieron y derramaron, por suerte vienen en una bolsa por separado y no mancho las piezas de los modelos.

Hübsche Figuren in brauchbaren und lebendigen Posen und detaillierten Gesichtern. Viele weisen allerdings überschüssiges Plastik (Blitz) auf. Bei manchen passen die zwei Hälften der Formen nicht optimal zusammen (siehe Radfahrer) Da viele Figuren doppelt und dreifach vorhanden sind, kann man sich dann aber die beste aussuchen. Zu den Fahrzeugen und dem Flugzeug kann ich sagen, daß es sich hierbei um gewohnt gute Airfix Qualität handelt. Von den 12 Farben waren leider nur noch drei (!) Zu gebrauchen, die anderen waren eingetrocknet. Im großen und ganzen ein gut gemachtes Set, welches Sinn macht und gut zu gebrauchen ist.

Good kit came with all parts, good value for money for the amount of pieces you get. Paints look good, instructions easy to use and building was good fun.

The aircraft model is detailed and well rendered. The vehicles went together well and needed little, beyond basic tools and skills to create, a pleasing diorama. For a person new to model building the inclusion of paints and glue is a bonus but most will choose to use a wider palette and a different glue. The detailed transfers are impressive, but difficult to handle, as many are tiny and need a magnifier to see them applied correctly. The guns require part of the wing to be cut out to display them in the act of loading - perhaps not something for a first time builder! The only real negative was the type of plastic used for the figures. It is an 'oily' plastic that paint does not adhere to well and is difficult to glue with standard modelling glues (if, for example you choose to fix mechanics on to the wings and the pilot somewhere on the aircraft).
