I haven't built a model in about 30 years, and decided to spend some quiet time at night getting back into the hobby. This Revell model has been on my shelf for many years. I'm almost done with it, and am really enjoying putting it together.
I've read another comment about poor fit, but I've not had any problems at all in that regard. Actually, I find the opposite, all of the parts have great detail, a nice fit, and are very well molded. The quality of the detail is very nice, Revell's craftsmanship seems high quality to me. For example, Revell took great pains to include very precise interior details inside the nose section of the wheel well, also inside the bottom of the wing wheel wells - something that almost nobody would see if the plane is mounted on a static ground display - but the model builder sees it!
A minor point, the drawing on the box cover shows the plane in flight, however the model comes as a static display (like the picture you see with canopy open, etc.). I had thought I'd have the option of either building it as in-flight, or on the tarmac, but apparently not.
I would highly recommend this model to any other intermediate builder out there. I do agree with the other reviewer that it's leaning toward being more an advanced build, potentially deserving a 3 instead of a 2 for difficulty level. That's because the parts are detailed, finely fit and need precise glue technique so the details on the parts are not ruined.
So in conclusion, this is not a good starter model for my 9 year old grandson - but for older and/or more patient modelers this Revell kit will provide you with many hours of fun model building, as it is for me.Get more detail about Revell 1:48 A10 Warthog.
