Airfix J6000 Quick Build Spitfire Aircraft Model Kit,Multi-colored,116 millimeters

Would recommend this as a gift. It was easy to build.

Item was easy to build and exactly as expected. Used as a cake topper to good effect. The only thing is the stickers go over the brick build. So once built you cannot take it apart without taking off the stickers.

Great model, looks fantastic and is easy to assemble - but.... The lower tank is a pain to fit along with the stand. Both want to occupy the same space which seems a bit of a daft design fault. Managed to get everything together eventually but it was a bit of a hassle.

Nice set Thank you

I bought this for my 6-year-old nephew, who already has everything a child could wish for, and therefore is a challenge to buy for at Christmas. This quick-build kit was a hit. It did require some adult support in assembling, but it was a fun activity he could do in about half an hour with a bit of support, and then lots of fun playing with the plane once assembled. The plane was approximately smartphone-sized in length and a good size for small hands, whilst not being too small. Would recommend.

It’s beautifully made, well balanced. My little boy is super delighted when he saw it. It’s super easy to assemble and the price was reasonable. Lots of fun

Kids really enjoyed making it. Added bonus is that there bigger than they look.

As should be obvious, the kit is "LEGO", but for various reasons LEGO isn't patented, so this is a look a like. The quality is far too good to call it a knock off, and the end product only shows signs of the construction method in the clear cockpit cover. This is so obvious that in the product photo the cockpit cover has been painted black to disguise the fact. Bought this on offer and compared to LEGO is not only better value, but a better value. But the negatives; Thinking that the box had perforations from the hanger, my grandson tore the box open and tore up the instructions, first cause of Christmas dismay but not Airfixes fault. The assembly instructions which are entirely visual, are colour on colour and for me at least at 75 are difficult to see particularly to identify parts and exact positioning. The parts need some adult force to click into place, in an attempt to avoid gaps, which fails are so closely molded that they are difficult to position at times. The propellor is 'held' in place by a single round "LEGO" brick, single connection that is and this is not secure and falls off requiring disassembly to repair, this means the propellor really won't spin, or if spun is likely to come apart. Which is LEGOs ® major problem, falling apart. The shape of some of the parts meant that bits of the part weren't necessarily locked in place. Lastly; and most annoying; with the drop tank (I say) or bomb (my grandson says) in place the stand won't fit in place, and obviously visa versa. Spent a long time puzzling this and don't think that it's an error on our part. Crazy.

Ich kann das Modell nur empfehlen, für die Detailtreue ist verhältnismäßig robust (Spieltauglich).

I'm impressed with this toy. It is built like a Lego but the result is near perfect. It's big, resistent, light and super cool. Had a fight with my 4 year old son because I can't stop playing with it.

Estupendo. Replica muy fiel, no es frágil así que sí es adecuado para niños. Con 5 años necesitarán ayuda de un adulto para montarlo pero participan activamente. Como consejo: cada vez que montes una pieza aprietala al máximo. El resultado final es muy bueno

I was looking for an intermediate scale between 1/32 and 1/48 to go with my 1/32 WW2 figures and 1/38 scale vehicles and this worked perfectly. The wingspan measures exactly 10 inches so this puts the scale right at 1/39. It was easy to assemble even for an old 66 year old like me, not having built a model in over 40 years. Took me maybe 30 minutes? I definitely needed the instructions though. I think this model could have been made with fewer pieces. Once together I noticed the wing assembly was not that solid so I glued the smaller pieces that make up the wings. I also glued the little red knob to the propeller to keep the propeller from popping off once assembled. Once I applied the decals I then sprayed a few coats of Krylon clear coat to permanently adhere the decals. Will definitely get the P51 and Spitfire models.

カテゴリからいえばプラモデルと言うよりも3Dパズル(トイ)に分類されるだろう。スナップキットだがガンプラとは異なり組立後も再度バラしてまた組立可能である。 スケールはノンスケール(箱スケール)ということになっているがScalemateの記載では1/72、しかし実寸を計ったところ1/60ちょうどであった。 当初の目的は素組・無塗装(アルコールマーカーは可)限定の製作会で紹介する為だったが組立後も巡航モードとVTOLモード両再現が可能な35Bのキットはこれが唯一でもある為折角だから(キット本来の意図はぶち壊すが)ちょい足しディティールアップで飛行機モデルとしてのポテンシャルを確認してみた コクピットインテリアにはシートバックと計器盤フードを追加、ストックパーツからパイロットを搭乗させこのキットで唯一残念と感じたカノピをキットパーツを芯にヒートプレスで作り直しカノピブレイカーを内側から取り付け VTOL用リフトファン及び排気口ランプ裏側は実機では内部整流の為のライナーがあるがキットは内側もペラだったのでプラ板とスチレンボードでライナーを追加 エンジンノズルにジャンクパーツから戦車の転輪を用いたバーナーコア風ディティールを追加 タイアをジャンクパーツから径のあう物に付け替え雰囲気を向上 塗装は成形色のままでも悪くはないがRAMコーティングとの色差を出す為結局全面塗装、そこに自作した海上自衛隊仕様デカールを貼ってIFの海上自衛隊・護衛艦かが搭載機として完成させた トイとはいえ発売元は老舗航空機キットメーカーのエアフィックスである。ちょっとの追加工作で見違えるほど雰囲気は変わった(というか、このキットと同社1/72キットは恐らくCADデータを共有している。悪い筈がない) なお、エアフィックスのキットは昔から可動・差し替え・選択ギミックは豊富に盛り込まれる事が多いが可動ギミックは受け座周りの作りが少々雑なのも昔からの伝統である。このキットも胴体上面のリフトファン用ランプや水平安定板の嵌め込みヒンジが露骨に目立つ(まぁロートダインの貨物ドアヒンジよりはマシだけど)上強度もいまひとつなので下面よりも上面のギミック部を差し替えにして欲しかったな、と
