Little People Fun Sounds Rescue Station Review

Little People Fun Sounds Rescue Station
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Little People Rescue Garage includes the garage, two pieces of fencing, an ambulance, a medic Little People, a small fire truck, and a fireman Little People. These items are wonderful to fill out your Little People city. Durability seems very high. Educationally it is high because you can teach your child who the firemen and medics are.
Both cars are a perfect smaller size that is easier to steer than the bus or minivan. The fencing pieces fit perfectly in size with any of the fencing pieces from other sets. (The zoo, for example.) The actual garage has two yellow buttons on top. When a button is pressed, the door below pops open and a siren will wail. The same action happens with the other button and door, but the siren is for fire instead of ambulance. However, the buttons are somewhat difficult to press for younger children; my 2 ½ year old can barely push them all the way down.
Overall, this is a GREAT toy for the price. The cars make all the difference; my daughter loves to play with them. Enjoy!

There's so much going on at this kid-sized rescue station! You hear flashing lights, horns and bells. Then the garage doors open, and here comes Firefighter George and Paramedic Cheryl in the fire truck and ambulance. This set is the perfect addition to the action-filled Little People Ramps Around Garage and the entire world of Little People toys (each sold separately). Includes ambulance, fire truck, Paramedic Cheryl & Firefighter George, and two connectable fence pieces. Requires 3 AA batteries, not included.

This was my first model kit to build in almost 10 years. I was impressed by the simplicity of putting the parts together,as almost no fitting was required at all. Everything went together as you would expect them to. Attention to detail on the part of Revell was very nice.

This was my first Guillows laser cut kit. I built them as a kid in the 1970's from the old frustrating die cut kits. The laser cut parts come out nice and clean and build time is really fast now.

I have 2 boys, ages 7 and 5. They LOVE Playmobil, especially the airport sets. They can play for hours with all the luggage, carts, planes, etc. Playmobil makes a great product that is kid friendly... they can put it together with little help and it does not come apart when they play with it.

I was hoping that this product was just what I needed for a beginner in the model world who loved jets. It was perfect. He enjoyed it and it was very easy to put together. I liked the fact that I did not have to buy extra paints and glue (Yeah!!! Nothing to clean up except for the plastic casings.)

Fokker DR1 Triplane Laser Cut Review

Fokker DR1 Triplane Laser Cut
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I first built the drei way back in 1960, following the kit instructions precisely. The net result was a strikingly pretty plane that actually flew well. Out-of-the-box, the Fokker Dr. I is a very stable flyer.
The drawbacks come immediately, though. The landing gear is very fragile, barely capable of supporting the heavy polystyrene wheels, much less actually enabling a three-point touchdown without collapsing. Also,
the single strand of rubber supplied in the kit is absolutely inadequate
as a power source.
I kept my drei flying for the next three years, but the entire set of three wings had to re-built. By that time, I had learned many free flight tricks that improved the flight characteristics of the kit.
If you intend to produce a flying model, ignore the wood wing ribs (cut from very heavy balsa); use them only as patterns to cut new ones from contest weight balsa. Use a Cox Pee Wee .020 for power. Make balsa wood wheels. The new model will be lighter in weight, adequately powered, and less likely to require repairs after every flight.
If you want to produce a display-only model, then use the wood and plastic parts as supplied. Then, substitute spruce or basswood for the landing gear, cabane, and interplane wing struts. The more substantial wood will make wing alignment much easier.
The new edition kit is familiar and not-so familiar. Wood quality is still too heavy for a flying model. The plans and instructions have a more modern look. The decal set is OUTSTANDING!! Guillow's kits always
came with superb decals: accurate colors, absolutely aligned and registered, and easily applied over doped tissue. Back in the 1960's you could buy an extra set for sixty cents. What a bargain.
You will be pleased with this re-issued gem. The laser cutting of balsa parts reduces your time to re-trim or sand the parts. If you are a beginner to balsa WWI aircraft, don't be put off by the seeming complexity of multiple wings. The Guillow engineers have done their homework to produce a kit with minimal frustration. The finished plane is a work of art.

Introduced over the western front in August 1917, the Fokker Triplane soon became the favorite plane of Germany’s greatest World War 1 ace, Baron Manfield von Richthofen. After scoring numerous aerial victories, von Richthofen was shot down in a triplane on April 21, 1918 by Captain Roy Brown of the R.A.F.

Revell 1:48 A10 Warthog Review

Revell 1:48 A10 Warthog
Average Reviews:

I just finished building this kit today and finally breathed a sigh of relief! It should really be a Skill Level 3 kit. The fit is terrible in the wings and engine nacelles, but the most annoying fit problem for me was with the anti-sway brackets on the pylons. They don't fit...That's all there is to it. Be prepared to have to sand down all 22 of the brackets. Even then I had to leave some of them off because I couldn't get the weapons payload to attach to the pylons with the anti-sway brackets in the way. I'm still a rookie when it comes to using filler, but I had to use it on this kit and, luckily, it came out not too bad. When the model was completed, it looked rather nice. That's why I would give this kit 3 stars out of 5. I've said it earlier but it must be said again: You will HAVE to use contour putty and do lots of sanding for this kit to look even remotely nice.

1:48 scale. When Winston Churchill spoke of the few that gave so much, he was referring to the R.A.F. pilots in their Spitfires. Originally a seaplane, the Spitfire won a competition to become the R.A.F.'s number one fighter. It proved to be more than a match for the best that Germany could muster. Its kill ratio was 10 to 1 in the skies over England. Features: Detailed cockpit area, landing gear, waterslide decals. 34 pieces. SKILL 2

This Revell Wright Flyer is a very strong product. Some steps were a little bit hard for me. It is not very hard for me to make this airplane.
Also this model comes with a packet that helps you build a scene with the piecesif you want. It comes with string if you want to put it on. I didn't.
This model turned out very nice for me

Revell 1:48 P - 40B Tiger Shark Review

Revell 1:48 P - 40B Tiger Shark
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This model is pretty simple and comes with good instructions, so although it was my first, I finished putting it together in only one afternoon.
The thing to remember is that the pieces are molded from thin green plastic, so if you want the model to look good and fit nicely you need to buy good modeling cement and paint. The paint colors needed for this model are not listed, so here they are:
flat black
aluminum
tan
light brown
yellow
red (for nose of plane- if painted like the "Flying Tigers")
olive drab
gray (if painted the like the US army)
light blue (if painted like the "Flying Tigers" or British army)
***it would have helped me a lot to know the paint colors in advance, I didn't have the red for the nose of the plane, so I had to use nail polish for the job instead***
