Many appreciated the fun and easy build process, often completing it in a short time, and enjoyed the painting and weathering opportunities it offers.

Simple, interesting kit of WWII German technology

By: rockykeele (Tucson, AZ)

The Tamiya V1 Flying bomb is a simple, but fun kit. The bomb itself has only 8 parts, while the cart has 9. There are a couple of different paint schemes and a small decal sheet. The only instructions are on the box back, which are sufficient. I enjoyed this easy build, and the result is different than my normal airplane or jet aircraft builds. Recommended for those looking for a quick and different modelling experience.

Awesome!

By: ryan_mowat_9

Only had about 20 pieces so it was easy to assemble, great for people who are new to modelling or wanting to get back into it (like myself). Had a load of fun making it and painting it! Will be buying another!

Fast and fun

I knocked this out in about 6 hours over a week. Weathering the cart was fun as well. Nice change for almost instant gratification!
