### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb
*by P***F on 20 November 2023*

Riktigt bra modell. Fina detaljer, bra instruktioner. Ett riktigt toppen kit, passformen är på episka nivåer, använde inte en droppe spackel vid montering.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ modellino statico
*by A***O on 26 April 2023*

Che dire il TOP in tutto, montaggio, precisione, pannellature, ecc. Dato il prezzo di acquisto (alto) lo consiglio solo ad esperti appassionati . Amazon perfetta e velocissima .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very high quality parts but very small and fussy to build. Needs a lot of attention to detail.
*by P***R on 21 September 2025*

I purchased this model so I could review the differences between the F/G and J P-38 Lighting Fighter Aircraft. The models are very feature/detail rich but there are many very small parts that are fussy to work with. This model absolutely needs a lot of attention to detail to paint and assemble. Not recommended for kids. It's too complicated.
