For me as a grown up who used to play with Airfix and Lego in his childhood alike, I'd be more than happy about a bigger scale model in the Quick Build range. So, this is something that falls somewhere between a real model and a toy. Actually, its more Lego than Airfix and when Legos patent ran out recently, Airfix clearly saw an opportunity for a construction kit for younger, budding model builders. It would have been a better choice to print the decals on the plastic parts (which is by the way, also the impression that you get when looking at the backside of the box). Airfixs Quick Build range is a bit like a cross between a traditional Airfix model and a Lego kit. Another troublespot are the decals: once the model is crashed, the stickers will get lost pretty soon.
Compared to the famous Danish company Airfix doesn't offer any working features apart from the propellor - no opening canopy, no working landing gear, which costs the product one star in my rating. All in all the Lego inspired system is a pleasant new addition to the classic back catalogue that is currently reissued by Airfix. Together with his younger brother my son is now able to re-enact the Battle of Britain in our living room. The parts match together well and the decals are easily attached. Both models were shipped in record time by Amazon and my boy managed to assemble the plane within a quarter of an hour without any difficulties. I have just bought this easy to assemble model kit together with the Messerschmidt antagonist for my seven year old son.
