Julien Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Following my review of these kits: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234992932-meng-kids-aircraft-kits-meng-model/ I thought I would give everyone an idea of what these look like, and purely in the interests of Model research you understand I put this one together straight from the box. The kit fit is pretty good overall and well within the means of little fingers (with some help). The stickers are not to good especially around the wing tips and fin where they go over curves. Still the are more suited I think to children than decals. Overall they look good and will hopefully generate further interest in the hobby. Oh and they are pretty fun as well Julien (getting back to serious modelling now!) 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Rhodes Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Nice! Bet it was hard resisting super-detailing it. How does it match scale plans for accuracy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KS-Flyer Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Might be cool little Christmas tree ornaments. If they arent too large. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I know Meng say it isn't but it still looks like an egg plane. You could have a bit of fun this way. Get the Airfix B-17 when it comes out and display the Meng model next to it then see what people think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
