Nice model, delicate, though. Tough to work on with my big hands.

This is a very simple model, but not something you can just throw together, it needs care and patience.It comes on two laser cut sheets (one for each wing and various parts) and then one blank to protect everything during shipping, and some black thread.The wings are each basically one part. There are some struts to glue on, that bend the wings to shape.The tricky bit is with the rigging. Because everything is so delicate, the rigging gives the model some strength, however there isn't much by way of instructions (why this only rates 4-stars).There are 6 photos, and some text (6 steps). Because they are photos, some of the detail is not very clear, and there are no notes about how and specifically where to place the rigging (just a general note to put the string at the red dot on the photo, but no dimension, and no hole).I drilled 0.5 mm holes where they looked about right, and rigged the wings, placing a pin sized amount of 'supper-glue' at each hole, keeping the thread tight (but not so tight that the wing gets warped.I'm not sure if it would be easier to glue the bottom wing on, then rig it, then glue the top wing and rig it. The 'instructions' aren't clear, but the photos imply putting everything together, then add the rigging. It is a bit tricky and good, long, thin tweezers are your friend.

No matter how careful you are, it will break. The model arrived with broken ribs. As can be seen in the photo, the wood itself was damaged. Those brown spots, kinda of look burned, was exactly where the ribs broke. I used a scapel to detach the pieces, still broke. I ended up returning it, there was no way the model would ever be put together correctly. Don't buy! Nothing but frustration.

It’s fine. You need to be careful when assembling because the wood is fragile.

This is a very nice model but you need to be very delicate with it. The plywood that is used is dry and can break easily if you're not careful. I broke mine at least 3 times, but adding some wood glue fixed it right up. If you're okay with this then it's a great depiction. Stringing the thread can also be challenging, especially if you have fat fingers like mine. The instructions are lacking details but you can go to you tube for some clarity.

Very poor and flimsy, sent it back. Advise against buying. I have built a fair number of these type of models and this was the worst one I ever tried.

Too fragile to build

Product as advertised; however building/rigging instructions are almost non-existent.
