Description
The Classic Planes Collection from NewRay consists of 4 planes: B-29 Superfortress, B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Mitchell and C-47 Skytrain. This collection has no specific scale; rather they seem to be built to fit a particular box or size. In this case, the planes measure about 9 inches in length with a wing span of about 13 inches, depending on the model. They are not your typical building kit where one needs to cut pieces out of runners/trees, but instead they come as disassembled toys where one needs to attach the engines to the wings and then the wings to the fuselage. No gluing or painting is needed as they are snap fit models. Markings and different color trims are present in some models and accurately done. These models look fine out of the box, however they can still be weathered/detailed to make them look even better. A stand is included where the plane can be mounted. Whether you want to display them or play with them, they will be enjoyable either way. The box measures 10 inches by 7 inches by 1.5 inches.9. Revell 1:48 P38J Lightning
