It’s a nice looking plane but the elevators are plastic and one broke off shortly after it was unboxed. The propeller is also plastic and slips off easily. Disappointing.

My older Bro loves it!

This is a very nice model, with good scale and attention to detail, with ONE exception. If you want to display it with Landing Gear Down, it allows you to attach a bomb to the underside (it’s a Dive Bomber). HOWEVER, it you want to mount it as if flying, YOU CANNOT ATTACH THE BOMB because the bomb covers the hole that’s necessary to insert the post from the display stand! I didn’t[ like this issue because I had wanted to display it as flying with the bomb attached, (seems to have made sense to me), but YOU CAN’T!
