| I got this gift for hanukkah and it was really great. it was hard to assemble but if you look close at the very small directions you can figure it out. Its hard to tell the difference between the screws but screws A are chipped at the end. this is a durable toy im looking forward to buying other models and i think you should buy it too. |
Not impressed

| Impossible to read/follow instructions.Make diagrams bigger. Flimsy. Will do if left on a stand where it never needs to be touched, but won't last at all with handling. |

| I collect the E-Z Build line, and of the 20 or so available in the line, this model is probably the most challenging to put together. I really enjoy assembling this model, the accuracy is great for a toy & I love how the E-Z Builds don't require glue. The overall value is great considering the inexpensive price. |
Clunky and not at all authentic

Color scheme is all wrong as the plane uses the white cowl and wheel covers never used on the Baron's plane, though the ident crosses are correct. The wings attach using screws and large, thick clunky lugs on the struts that detract from the over-all look of the plane (which is why all of the pics of the E-Z build planes are taken from above). Build time is more like an hour, not five minutes as advertised. If you are looking for an accurate model of this plane, this ain't it. Check out the Revell Germany 1:28 scale kit, or any other of the glue kits available for an accurate display model.
That said, this is a great toy for kids, and might get them interested in the history of aviation as it's something different from all of the jet toys out there. It is, also, a good introduction to model building (with adult help and supervision reccomended) as no glue or painting is necessary. I bought a dozen of the EZ plane kits at Christmas time for our local "Santa Cops" program and they were glad to get them, and word is that they were well received.
So, bottom line is--Good display model: no; great toy for kids:yes |
