RevellGift Set 05688 Spitfire Mk.II "Aces High" Iron Maiden & Eddie Figures 1:32 Scale Unbuilt Plastic Model Kits with Contacta Professional Glue, Paintbrush & Selected Aqua Color Paints

Revell kits have improved to a much higher standard than where they used to be. I bought this to make for my son-in-law as a surprise. It will be made to look as much as possible like the one from the TV series (and Star Wars films it appeared in) The Book of Boba Fett. He is a big fan of Star Wars related 'things.' I will enjoy making this for him.I have not begun to make this yet but hope to have it ready for him before the end of this month, March 25. The kit is very detailed and looks accurate. The size of 1:88 means this is quite big. On the basis of first looking at this kit I decided to buy another one, it is so good, this time for myself.

Nice kit and easy to build

I have to say, this model is exquisite. The details are amazing and the two dimensions of the card look 3d because of the correct shading of the images. All joins have been well planned underneath the facade so nothing shows. So much thought and detail has gone into the final appearance.The execution is where a found a few issues. The instructions don't make it easy as you assemble the West facade first before the base which I think is a mistake because it would be better to begin assembly with the base and build the facade on top. Because revell did it this way, it's a nightmare to get the facade on the base once the sections are complete because of all the slots to get in which does take a bit of force which obviously risks damaging the card.The second issue I has was with the double sided tape for the windows. For the life of me, I could not separate the tape from the paper. I have up and glued the windows in.The third issue I had was that some of the windows required a trim because they would not sit flush in the frame as they jutted out below the wall piece which would have meant a poor fitting floor section.The last issue I found was on the thinner sections such as the ends of arches, would require force to get through slots causing them to bend which was annoying.Once your prepared for this, the model goes together very well and is very stirdy. You end up with an eye catching piece and with lights is just incredible.It has a few short comings in regards to assembly but not on completion as it really makes the moaning of assembly very trivial indeed.It is definitely worth the money and time. It takes approximately 15 hours to assemble.Wonderful product from revell and a work of art in completion.

Bought this in January , finished it in November, really enjoyed the model , well fitting mostly , detail is good,Eddy Figures are cool, Aces High is fully recommended !!

Well detailed, though not started yet, it looks well produced and should make an excellent addition to my model collection.

Unusaly glue and paints included!!! Not like the raw deal you get from AIRFIX?????

Bought as a present

firstly the kit if you take it slow and steady is a great kit in a great scale for a great price, the hate this kit gets is from a vast majority of slight fit issues the kit possesses. They can all be overcame with a few modifications but be prepared!!
