I built this model over Christmas break. I'm 51. Loved models as a kid. I looked all over for a good shuttle model. I purchased another model before I got this one, but took it back...glad I did. This model of the shuttle goes together well, typical Revell quality. Some model building experience is definitely needed if you want it to turn out really nice. I used 5 colors of paint, and typical plastic model cement (not included). Spray paint works best for the larger pieces. The many decals were very detailed...I used all of them. The decal color bands around the booster rockets add a great look. The detail is very good, and the instructions were excellent. The shuttle/main tank assembly rests vertically on the base, and is removeable. There are a couple options available depending on what you want to ultimately display (shuttle only, shuttle with wheels down or up, etc.). The shuttle bay doors open/close, if you want. It's just the right size, not small, but not huge...stands about 17.5 in tall when complete. I had fun building it. Would make a great father/son project. I definitely recommend.

Good toy,
took several evenings to assemble with my son.
good enough guilty.
Does not contain paints and glue. So will need to purchase it separately.
Can be assembled several ways.Space Shuttle on the platform when it is traveling to lunch area with boosters on it or as Space Shuttle when landing.
Both are interesting for the small boys.

I bought this space shuttle model for my 5 year old son. We assembled it together, though I did most of the work. It gave him a sense of doing things step by step, and he was excited to see the result relatively quickly. We still have to paint it, which I plan to let him do most of it.
