Review: Great kit for model and terrain builders - After spending just over a month assembling and painting the models in this kit I am happy to say it’s an excerpt gift for someone new to the hobby but also has an interest in terrain building. The paints in the set are unfortunately not enough if you want a realistic looking paint and texture on diorama but for a beginner like me it was fairly priced and has a good selection of units. Unfortunately the soldiers supplied in the box are made using a different material than the models and although it does state to clean them with detergent and warm water I still had a hard time getting paint to stick to the models. But with perseverance and a gentle hand it is possible to get realistic results with them. I would definitely recommend this as a gift to someone young starting out or even not so new like myself.
Review: Needs attention to detail - Great kit to build. If you like something that is a fiddle to build with plenty of small parts. Then this is the kit for you

A: It consists of several small vehicles and a coastal fortress.  There are many small parts, but not too bad for an experienced builder.  Would not recommend for a first time builder.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good value kit to build.
*by G***Y on 23 May 2020*

The aircraft model is detailed and well rendered. The vehicles went together well and needed little, beyond basic tools and skills to create, a pleasing diorama. For a person new to model building the inclusion of paints and glue is a bonus but most will choose to use a wider palette and a different glue. The detailed transfers are impressive, but difficult to handle, as many are tiny and need a magnifier to see them applied correctly. The guns require part of the wing to be cut out to display them in the act of loading - perhaps not something for a first time builder! The only real negative was the type of plastic used for the figures. It is an 'oily' plastic that paint does not adhere to well and is difficult to glue with standard modelling glues (if, for example you choose to fix mechanics on to the wings and the pilot somewhere on the aircraft).
