Airfix J6049 Quickbuild Plastic Model Car Kits - Audi R8 Coupe - Easy Assembly Snap Together Kit, Classic Car for Adults & Kids to Build, Model Vehicles, Building Toys Set

This is a simplified snap-style model kit using a brick type method which builds up in around 30 minutes or less. There are some areas you have to take your time with such as placing the main roof part onto the body but overall it is a well executed piece and no painting is required either. The scale looks to be slightly larger than 1/24 as it is 7.5 inches long when assembled and comes colored as pictured in solid plastic with a glossy finish for the car body. Young kids might need the help of an adult to push a few parts together and apply the stickers such as for the steering wheel, dash, license plate and taillights. Overall, I have no complaints. I highly recommend this to all VW Beetle fans young and old. The kit might be simple compared to someone that builds plastic kits where you need to glue and paint everything. This is for someone that wishes to produce a nice result to display without all the hours of building. One neat feature is that you can fit brick type figures on the front seats if you have some around. This is not really made for rough play but can be pushed around gently.

Great for a kids first build. Seemed to snap together like legos do. It looked cool when the kid was done. He got a good sense of accomplishment from this kit.

Quick build- if that’s what you’re looking for, look no further. This quick build using majority lego pieces. Our family did not like the fact that it only came with one side view mirror, when this isn’t accurate in real life. My son didn’t like how the trunk didn’t open. However, if it’s your child’s first model build it’s a great option to get. Overall, we aren’t completely dissatisfied, we as adults expected a little more based on our experience as children. My son is 7 and he said he wants to build another one.

This is a fun kit. It's! easy to assemble and looks nice on the mantle when it's finished. If you like keeping your hands busy, plastic models are a great way to pass the time and you get a nice model car to keep.

This review is on the VW minibus. WARNING--no words on instruction sheet. Step Two has the builder peel a sticker from the sheet to add to the ending compartment--a printed pulley system. Then on Step Sixteen there is a sticker for the steering wheel. The double doors are on the wrong side of the van--they should be on the curb side, not the driver's side. There is only two of the three bench seats in the original 1963 van but otherwise this model looks good. I had trouble putting this puzzle or model together because I'd attach a piece and then knock that piece off when I put another piece on. It took me two hours--it may be a "quick build" but it ain't easy! Now that I have it assembled, I want to take it apart and reassemble it. Wish me luck because I'll need it. The finished project is almost 1/24th scale.

This is cheaply made. The pieces are supposed to work like Legos but they constantly fall apart. Our first purchase did not have all the correct pieces. Customer service was fine though. They ordered a replacement that came within 48 hours. I returned our original one. Not good value for the money. Was easy to use for my 7 year old. It just isn’t very sturdy.

Fond memories as a kid myself over laboring over model kits, glue, paint, stickers etc. Now my son has lept into the model kit world and we have found these Airfix kits a great way to introduce him to modeling as a hobby. These kits are very well put together and the pieces fit perfectly and being that they assemble similar to Lego it was an easy fit for him. The stickers, however, are tiny and I had to jump in with a toothpick to help out. Overall though, these are fantastic and we have now purchased all available quickbuild kits that Airfix offers. My son is constantly asking if they have released any new ones yet. For the price the fun factor is off the charts good. Very recommended.

Complete garbage. Not at all easy to assemble the very cheap and flimsy parts, and very frustrating for my kid. Just more garbage that will end up in a land fill. Spend a little more on LEGO or trusted model makers. Will be worth it

Muy fácil de montar y recomendada tanto para niños como para adultos, sin embargo si la vais a montar con niños se recomienda la ayuda de un adulto ya que contiene piezas pequeñas

Die Bausteine haben super zusammen gepasst. Kein Teil fehlte. Die Passgenaugigkeit war sehr gut.

Excelente combi me gustó mucho

We bought this for our littlest niece (4.5) for Christmas— she’s head over heels for VW bugs. Her sister (10.5) put it together for her with ease. It is perfect.

Bought to build as a gift for my mother who has a thing for VW campers. I am not new to model making, but having seen others struggle i prepped for a battle (1 I saw took nearly 2 hours to get done). using lego style fixings technically the whole thing should be glueless, heres what i found, it all fitted together in around 20 mins, not needing to ever dismantel it i used spots of thin glue (pva white glue would do but would slow build) along long seams and for roof, but parts fit lovely and snap fit works. instructions are simple and if followed in order are easy to use, parts are pre coloured or clear, decal as they are are peel stickers. end result is a good model of a VW 1965 camper with vinyl/rubber wheels. who is it good for ? VW FANS, Children or anyone either new to or inexperienced with model building, even experienced modellers looking for a break from the 500 + piece hyper detailed models they're used to. infact its a fun build for anyone from box minimum age to elders though if you have large fingers or arthritic knuckles I would suggest good tweezers for some fo the small parts and stickers. Verry pleased with kit and moms over the moon with the result.
