I wanted to try a box from another company rather than the usual suspects :), plus I was looking for small WWI planes. As a result, and in all honesty I was attracted to this by the box. As I understand this is a re-boxing of older molds so there is some flash on the small pieces. (wheels, wheel struts, wing struts). To avoid cursing or throwing of an item on the wall know that the wheel struts do not stand in place with regular glue so I super-glued them. Same thing i did with the inner wing struts. Glued them to the wings in an angle and then super-glued them on the planes. Expect a bit of frustration trying to keep the wings of the Albatros in place. Do not be put off by these comments since as with the case of many molds a bit of frustration is expected but the end result is great. Decals are fantastic and you are given 4 variations. In other words you will end up with some extra decals to keep as back-up. Pilots are not included and if you decide to do the rigging look on the internet for manuals from other companies since no info is available with the included directions.
