So yes the model is small and is stated in the description,so I knew that along with some fiddly pieces. There were not too many but i had to do a little bit of scribing to bring out some details.I would say this is worth ÂŁ6 at most and you are paying for the paint, brushes and glue,which i do not need personally as i have loads of the stuff and is just contributing to waste on the planet, not really a mad eco person but still its a problem since i cannot find these kits without being a starter set combo.My other issues are:The box came crushed,The clear parts where fogged up and full of mold release agent that was trapped inside the clear plastic,decals where in poor shape and when I tried to apply them to the model they would just break apart, and i had to contact Airfix and they sent replacements of both the clear parts and decals.This seems to be happening with about 4 in 10 kits as I purchase and build alot of Airfix kits.It does seem to be a started set and 1/72 scale issue and hopefully this doesnt get deleted as I said this on the Airfix website and they silenced me.which for that im considering leaving the airfix club and them losing a customer as this is poor quality control that is not being listened to, this is not a good look towards people who are just getting into the hobby.Also one thing to note, the kit is currently ÂŁ11.99 and I recieved an email from Airfix last week that prices are going up across the board, so we may see these kits being even more overpriced soon.Since Amazon ask and it would be helpul for parents,I would say that the age range is correct at 8+ but with adult supervision and help.

Very cool!
We bought this as a token Chrismtas present for a family member who has the exact same car. He loved it and can't wait to build it with his Grandson! He did check everything was present and correct before he started.
