Review: Great Starter Kit - Great Starter Kit for people getting into Scale Modelling. I took a long break from making Airfix models and wanted to get back into the swing of it. This set provides all the tools required to produce a high quality Red Arrow, the paint can be hit and miss within starter sets, however if you mix it enough and give it a good shake the paint is fine and gives you plenty for the model, even if you make a mistake. The level of details is what you expect for a 1:72 Scale model.
Review: Great starter kit. - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent starter set..
*by L***. on 10 June 2023*

Note a little tip at the end.. I bought this set for my friend who is trying to get into it, since he didn’t know what to do at all I went to his house and helped him a bit when needed. I noticed the box was a bit broken on the top right but other than that nothing on the box. The box art was good tbf to Airfix. As we continued through the model there were a few things to consider before buying. Firstly if you want a lot of detail there is no point getting this Airfix model as it’s designed for complete beginners, I would recommend a different one of their products for that. It’s not perfect either, for example there are sometimes small gaps where the joins are. Also the front propeller piece that makes the actual propeller spin doesn’t fit very well. Other than that everything was alright with the model itself. As for the paints glue and brush everything was okay but as expected. The glue had a very strong smell, and was quite “clumsy and random” according to my friend. Also the paints were by no means good. As the black was completely dried out and the 106 half dried out. The brush was fine but could probably only be used 3-4 times on seperate occasions. Other than that it’s a good little set with fair detail, and also very good easy instructions. A little tip for the join gaps a good little trick to deal with them if you want to (obviously not essential) is to get a pot with a lid, cut up some of the access plastic that’s not in use, and the glue cement, mix it well, and leave for 24 hrs. After use a cocktail stick to spread the “filler” into any places that’s needed, you don’t need a massive layer just enough to Seal. After this sand it down and paint over. It just a small tip to cover up everything
