I want to first start out by saying this is not a toy. If you are buying this, you are probably a modeler and you probably just purchased the Tamiya 1/350 USS Enterprise. Let me tell you, that these are great If you don't strive for perfection. There isn't much insignia on the aircraft, and the cockpits are just plastic, and not see through. However, If you want all that you either shouldn't be building models, or you should've bought the trumpeter counterpart, which I have also reviewed. That being said, this is also a great option, and I recommend it If you aren't striving for detail. The reason that it got one star on durability, the lading gears break so easily That probably 40% of the landing gears will break, but that can be solved If you buy the GMM aircraft detail set, but some aircraft don't need photo etch, so they aren't supplied in the photo etch kit, and so your basically back where you started. You can also solve the decal insignia problem (the lack of any insignia i.e. anything on the tail) by buying the GMM (gold medal models) hi-vis and low-vis decal sheets, and those are relatively cheap at around $7.00, or the Starfighter decal sheets that are basically the same thing, but I believe that to do a full air wing Starfighter decals will cost you a little bit more. So in conclusion, its a good buy, but If you strive for detail you might want something different, or you might want to just buy the photo etch and decals and use this set.

I was unfortunate enough to buy this product without sufficient information about it. The pictures are VERY misleading, as the planes come in a dull gray color and would take the most skilled craftsman to paint to the extent in the picture. Are those even the same planes???I was anticipating nice two inch long metal planes or plastic pre-assembled. You must snap off the pieced and put each plane together. I tried many different types of glues and cements, but nothing works on holes the size of a needle. And the scale on these things is more like 1/500... Some are barely an inch long. Overall and awful product that found my trash can within ten minutes. I was planning on purchasing the aircraft carrier if I liked these, but I don't expect much better quality that snap off pieces that don't stay glued for that either. I wonder if you have to snap the limbs on the model soldiers and try to paint them, too.
