Old and Young love to build! - This balsa wood model kit was just what my 86 year old Father in law was requesting for his Birthday! This is the 2nd type of Balsa wood model plane kit he has tried. What we liked about this one was the laser cut pieces. So much easier to get the pieces out of the flat mold sheet. His hands don't work as well as they use to and he sometimes has a hard time punching out the pieces. Instructions were easy to understand. It takes him a couple of weeks or longer to fully build one of these models. He likes that it occupies his time and he's doing something he likes. The model really does wind up and streak across the floor. He has not tried to fly it in the air, but does fully wind it and let it go on the kitchen floor. His Great- Grandson loves to go to Grandpa's and see his plane! Fun for all! Everything is included in the kit. He uses a different glue that he bought else where and on this model he used a colored tissue paper to do the wings as he wanted a colorful airplane. I'll add photo's. For being 86 he does a pretty good job. His first airplane model was not so good. I'll add that side by side comparison photo also. But practice makes perfect. I would say the ages to start building a plane like this would be 10 years old, with some supervision and help. My Husband still has to help out sometimes when his Dad's fingers just cannot complete the needed step to continue building the plane. High Quality Materials. I purchased this item at full price. My opinions are my own and I was not compensated in any way for my thoughts. I rely on product reviews just like others to help make my purchase decisions so I try each product very carefully before reviewing and always do my best to leave honest opinions and provide as much facts as possible based solely on my experience. Review: keeps you busy - I have built several of these types of kits over the years. They turn out pretty good if the time is taken to do them right. I lean more to the WW1 military planes in interest. Though This is my 2nd attempt at a WW2 plane (the other a Gullow's German dive bomber). The only thing I do different from the issued kit is to cover them with cheap and thin fabric instead of tissue paper. I give them to one of the grand kids when completed. ## Features - Supermarine Spitfire has a 16 1/2" wingspan - Features die-cut balsa parts, full set of decals, tissue, plastic parts and a 24-page building booklet - Perfect entry-level model plane kit for builders ages 10 and up - Complete instructions for building either to fly or for static display - Made in the USA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0006GZ2HE | | Additional Features | Lightweight | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Art Craft Kit Type | Model Airplane | | Brand Name | Guillow's | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (241) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00072365005044 | | Included Components | Tissue | | Item Dimensions | 13.69 x 1.75 x 4.5 inches | | Item Weight | 0.33 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Flat River Group | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | GUI504 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Paint Type | Tempera | | Product Style | Classic, Retro, Custom | | Scale | 1/30th | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Size | Small | | Subject Character | Aviation | | Theme | Aviation | | UPC | 072365005044 885485759106 777904407265 743181143127 | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Guillow's - **Color:** Multicolor - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 13.69 x 1.75 x 4.5 inches - **Theme:** Aviation ## Images ![Guillow's Spitfire Model Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DyTmS6v9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun hobby for an 86 year old.
