Airfix Diorama Model Building Kits - D-Day Operation Overlord Miniature Craft Kit, 1/72 Scale Plastic Model Kits for Adults, Incl. Boat Models, Tanks, Diorama Base & Figures - Military Gifts for Men

The aircraft model is detailed and well rendered. The vehicles went together well and needed little, beyond basic tools and skills to create, a pleasing diorama. For a person new to model building the inclusion of paints and glue is a bonus but most will choose to use a wider palette and a different glue. The detailed transfers are impressive, but difficult to handle, as many are tiny and need a magnifier to see them applied correctly.The guns require part of the wing to be cut out to display them in the act of loading - perhaps not something for a first time builder!The only real negative was the type of plastic used for the figures. It is an 'oily' plastic that paint does not adhere to well and is difficult to glue with standard modelling glues (if, for example you choose to fix mechanics on to the wings and the pilot somewhere on the aircraft).

Really nice airfix kit the figures are a pain to paint but the vehicles and nice hardly any flash.

Good kit came with all parts, good value for money for the amount of pieces you get. Paints look good, instructions easy to use and building was good fun.

Great kit, my son loved it. Instructions were easy enough to follow. It was only let down because of the paints. Half of them had dried out before opening, so guess it's been on a shelf for a while.

My partner was like a child again on Xmas morning. Loved this kit

Great kit to build. If you like something that is a fiddle to build with plenty of small parts. Then this is the kit for you

Like others the paints were not usable since dried out. Considering the price I would have expected more.The set is okay and my son had some fun building and painting it.You have to be into this type of model building to enjoy not comparable with Lego like models.

Fantastic
