DaronPostage Stamp Plane Big Beautiful Doll , Gray,unisex-children

I read previous reviews that their diecast plane arrived broken, so I inspected mine on arrival and opened it (I'm bringing it to work for my desk). The seals were broken on the box already (cut open) and the plastic insert as well. Likely used... or the delivery folks inspected it to make sure it wasn't broken. Regardless, I'm happy. The memphis belle emblem is detailed. The tail wheel paint is a little off but everything else is flawlessly detailed for it's size. The propellers spin a little but I don't recommend heavily spinning them. Perfect desk ornament, value for money is there, it's got a good weight, and looks sturdy. Cheers everyone!

Came just as pictured and a good size for a desk or night stand. Packed very well but take care when pushing the stand and aircraft up out of the plastic holder. It has some heft to it for a small die cast model. My favorite World War II aircraft as I have built other plastic models of the P-51 Mustang. If you want a small die cast model airplane that will look very nice, then this one is for you.

The postage stamp aircraft collector series are well made with excellent detailing. Have a number of them and the scaling makes them appear relatively scaled to the other aircraft. The only issue is Amazon shipping. Although the models come in a fairly secure plastic lined box, it is still cardboard and are mailed in just a padded plastic envelope, instead of in another more secure and padded box. Two have arrived with the aircraft container partially collapsed from shipping...although the model aircraft were not damaged. They should at least mark the envelope with 'fragile' or 'handle with care.' I have given other 'honest' reviews that were not accepted by A, let's see if this one gets posted.

Right size for desktop! Dr friend of mine his father, world war II veteran flew these in the war. I gave The plane as a gift to my doctor. In memory of his father. Good quality for the price. And as I mentioned nice desktop size

Horizontal stabilizer will invariable break free, as mine and others' did just trying to remove the item from the packaging. Probably worst choice possible used to mount the airfoil, and the plastic stabilizer is attached to the metal has to be attached using superglue, which is applied without cleaning the black paint from either surface, so the paint is the actual 'glue'. The twin booms also flex continually, which helps break free the airfoil. You have to clean the twin tail boom metal tabs of glue and paint, clean the plastic wing recesses of glue and paint, level the metal tabs and rough them up to give a good glue surface, level the plastic and similarly rough up, open up the plastic recesses so the tabs fit properly, remove paint from the thin vertical mating surfaces of the airfoil and vertical tail vertical mating surfaces to give adequate/additional gluing surfaces, probably get the superglue with the special fine point applicators, loosen the tail boom screws, try to put the superglue on without glopping, use three hands to grasp the two tail booms and position the tail plane, hold everything for a minute or so until there is an initial setup, make sure the tail booms fit firmly both into the glue recesses on the bottom of the airfoil AND the ends fot eh airfoil and vertical tail surfaces, then tighten the screws to keep the booms in place.Oh, remember this is on very small parts, so hope you have modeling equipment like mini files, dental picks, x-acto blades and a 3rd hand magnifying glass.Oh, you'll probably damage a propeller blade during all of this.And, STILL, you get a tail plane that will loosen and fall off if you sneeze too many times in the same room.Oh, and the silver turret guns and the drops tanks are just completely wrong, and you'll have to touch up the tail plane repair.If you want a model of this, I'd suggest making a 1/72 model or larger yourself. This one is a "hanger queen"/"storage box queen", and the minimal detail doesn't do the real tech on the plane justice.

Well described, packaged and priced. Shipping and tracking was weird but not seller's fault. Estimated time to ship was given as 8 days but ended up being 4. Tracking was all over the place and said still in transit while being left at my door?!?! Sold by amazon but shipped ups

I've collected miniature World War Two planes for decades but these Daron Worldwide Trading brand "Postage Stamp Collectibles" World War Two planes are incredible. They are mostly metal which is SUBERP considering how many models I've accidentally broken over the years. The details are excellent, and the plane actually looks better than the photos show. They really nailed it out of the park on these planes. I have zero complaints. The little stand is sturdy. The planes have a nice weight to them. I don't have to fear breaking it accidentally! I highly recommend the Daron Worldwide Trading brand of Postage Stamp Collectible planes. I realize I sound like an informercial but these planes are AMAZING! They look STUNNING on display!

Have a few of this makers other planes and very happy with all. Very detailed and excellent for the price. Careful near the tail though because it is plastic.
