SAMIQU BF-109 Model,1:48 Plastic Fighter Aircraft Model for Military Enthusiasts,Fighter of World War II BF-109 Model Building Aircraft Kit (Yellow)

This was a pretty good little snap-together kit that would be fun for anyone old enough to handle small parts - say 12+ I guess. Minimal flashing on the sprues. Instructions had no English but the pictures and numbers made it clear enough. Used a nail file to sand off the burrs and assembled in about a half hour while watching TV. Prepainted, came with rubber tires and a clear canopy (this was the only issue with the instructions). The canopy needed to be inserted before the two halves of the fuselage came together, but this isn't shown on the instructions - ended up filing down the pegs that fixed the front of it into the fuselage, and the tab in the back + friction was enough to hold the canopy in. No big deal, it just doesn't open anymore. Only other issue is that the tail wheel is a little loose, but the rubber tires are a nice touch. Propeller spins when assembled, though not freely. Looks good for a kit this cheap, clean lines and the molding was all tightly toleranced enough that it snapped together and stayed together well. Would be a fun little thing to put together for a kid.

This model is alright for the money. It certainly isn't the best model, but also isn't the worst. Its a little difficult to snap the parts together but in the end it looks great. I will say that the smaller pieces are a bit weird and the rear wheel doesn't stay.
