This is a beautiful model, with a decent wingspan and a rubber band engine allowing to fly when completed. It’s a great gift for military and aviation enthusiasts and will pair nicely with a model Spitfire if there’s already one in the collection.
This is a lovely little introduction to model building and a great joint project for friends or family that can be enjoyed outdoors when the model is complete.
This lovely little model actually flies when assembled, as it comes with a ‘rubber band engine’ (you wind the propeller to twist the band tight, which then rapidly spins the propeller in the other direction when released).

Balsa wood model planes are some of the most popular model kits as they are fun to assemble and offer a little bit of aviation history
The kits are fantastic value for money, with the simpler kits starting under £10 and the more detailed models coming in at well over £100. There’s hours of fun assembling the model and then varnishing it or painting it as you see fit. Some of these model planes are designed to fly when finished and will do so powered by a rubber band motor (and a little help from a willing pilot!). This makes them great solo projects for a spare weekend, or a wonderful joint effort between siblings or parents and children.
