Red Baron Fokker DR.1 1-72 Plastic Model Kit by Revell Germany Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Of all the planes and of all the pilots, the Fokker Dr.1 and Baron von Richtofen are by far my runaway favorites. This model used to be pretty easy to find when I was a kid, but they just aren't shelved anymore, thank God for the internet and Amazon!
I am not a hard core model builder, but I do have a room in my house with model airplanes hanging from the ceiling in a kind of dogfight. The Fokker Dr. 1 is in the center of the room and gets the most attention.
This model is not difficult to build and is actually a lot of fun. The spinning propeller and the detailed engine behind it really looks good. As do the double machine guns. I put all the white Iron Cross decals on it so it really stands out. It takes less than an hour to put together and is more fun than challenging. A great way to spend a rainy Sunday.

NEW Walt Disney World Deluxe Monorail Train Playset Toy Epcot Scale Model Train System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was amazed to see the negative reviews for the Disney monorail, however, I do agree that the current version is not necessarily suitable for small children as parts are easy to take off and the figures are very small. But for ADULT collectors, this is a wonderful model and older versions and accessories have become VERY collectable - I've seen the original Epcot Spaceship Earth (the one where the monorail can pass right through) selling for $300 and the Polynesian Resort for around $500. Monorail Purple is rare, so fetches good three-figures sums also.
As for the person who said the box shows six cars, but the set contains five ... the six car picture is a photograph of the real thing; however, the box has windows and you can clearly see that the model has five units - so unless you bought it with your eyes closed, you can hardly complain!
If you are going to set this up, you do need quite a lot of space - 61" x 49" needed for the basic set.
I have four sets - Black, Red, Gold and Blue (Blue being one of the new versions with opening doors) - and additional track. I know a lot of people run these as part of their Christmas displays and videos of some layouts can be seen on You Tube.
So, in summary, a great toy for older children (think ages 11 and above, rather than the 4+ suggested on the box) and a great collector item for adult Disney or rail fans.

N KIT DPM Reed Books Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great model for as you would expect an extremely small building. You need to be a bit of a modeler or kitbasher to appreciate the simplicity of the model - you'll need to paint everything first or at least be ready to have some small detailed brushes handy. The model takes some dry fitting and fine cutting to finish but for the size the detail is pretty fair. You'll need to paint and weather them for the realistic look.

Model Power HO Scale Building Kit - Farm House Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I didn't get this farm house from amazon, but I just bought this kit, brand new from a hobby store, still in the shrink wrap, and it was not only missing three MAJOR pieces, the front of the house seems to be from a different set all together! I had to remake the entire house and use twice the glue just to make it work with out the three pieces, so if your buying a kit, beware.
Other then missing the pieces, it is a nice house, but I think I'll just by the pre-built buildings from now on.

Airfix A05007 1:72 Scale Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina Military Aircraft Classic Kit Series 5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have built several of this Airfix PBY kit, and I have had fun every time.
It's old--1966--but well made.
And even though it is 1/72 scale, it turns out quite large when you build it.
I have also built some other kits of this same plane, but this is my favorite.
The whole kit is well thought out, and comes in medium gray, which takes almost any color of paint (with the possible exception of white) well.
The model itself turns out beautifully: the lovely fish-shaped body, the big teardrop turrets, the high parasol wing.

Revell Boeing C-17 Globemaster III Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this kit back in January and initially, (and I guess this is the funny part) I thought it was a 1:48 scale kit. Why did I come to this conclusion? because when I did a search for 1:48 scale kits, this came up and also all of my C-130s and B-1Bs (which are 1:48 scale) were all within the $40 to $50 price range.
So lets start things off this way... This is a review for a 1:144 scale Revell-Germany (made in Poland) model of a C-17 Globemaster III. Overall, the kit is good. Details are as to be expected when dealing with a 1:144 scale model. Cargo ramps are positionable, LG bay is ok and so are the engine nacelles.
I'll give it a three star to be fair, but I sincerely think its rather expensive for a 1:144 scale kit.

Model Power HO Scale Building Kit - Brewery Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)An excellent addition for those looking for an European style beer factory in HO scale. Until finding this one, I was unable to find an old fashion European beer factory, even when you look in Faller, Vollmer and other traditional European brands. The kit itself comes with enough details to please most. The only down point: the letterings come in paper instead of decals. Note that educational and durability considerations do not apply to a model kit like this and probably to most plastic models in general.
