A black Spitfire, 43 snap-together pieces, and one evening to get it off the ground.

The parts are molded in pre-colored plastic and pop off their sprues: fuselage, elliptical wings, propeller, landing gear and clear canopy. They snap together with a simple press, no glue or paint, then the stickers add the roundels. One evening is all it takes to see it finished on your desk.
Who is it for? For an aviation or history buff, for a short first build, or for a gift that ends up on a desk.
Dimensions once built: 18 cm long, 20 cm wingspan.

Facile à assembler, mais qualité moyenne de la matière plastique.
Excellent produit
Joli petit avion, il faut le monter, mais je suis impressionné par la façon dont il est arrivé.
Comme on dit, l'assemblage est simple et pratique.
J'en rachèterai certainement un autre, c'est un 100/100.
Facile à assembler, de bonne qualité, et les roues en caoutchouc assurent une bonne mobilité. Soyez prudent avec les pointes des ailes ; lors de l'assemblage, elles peuvent se plier, mais cela peut être corrigé avec de la colle.
Mon fils l'adore. Facile à assembler.
Très bien. Il est livré déjà peint.
Livraison rapide, l'assemblage est simple et ne nécessite pas de colle.
C'est bien, mais un peu difficile à assembler, mais dans l'ensemble, excellent.
Ça a l'air très bien, notre petit-fils va certainement l'aimer.
Ce sont de superbes petits avions. Amusant à assembler et ils sont superbes à exposer. Expédition rapide et excellent produit
