Guillow'sCessna 150 Laser Cut Model Kit, Small

It's a model. No issues.

Everything looks good, my one complaint is…I bought it to fly. Would you be is so kind to send me the firewall. I think it’s great you stopped shipping them with your product because people may or may not have been using them. I purchased the kit assuming it would be good to go.

It’s great that Guillows is later cutting some of their kits instead of the die and crush we are used to. That being said the supplied balsa for the stringers etc are still of poor quality. Once you have one or two glued on and go to start another just holding the model lightly will cause them to break. After this happening multiple times the kit was relegated to the trash bin except for the plans cowling and the wing spars. The price of these kits keep going up and the laser cutting is a plus but as long as many of the other parts are subpar I won’t be buying this brand again. I have been building models for over 50 years so this is not a newbie issue.

Having a good time putting this 150 together. The balsa quality/thickness is just fine and the laser-cut parts just about fall off the sheet when you pick them up. Very nice improvement over the older style die-cuts. Only complaint is a lack of clear instructions for the rear window installation, m3? part#? Had to search the web for a better idea of what goes where, without the 'net you'd be hosed in this area. I'm maybe halfway thru and already have my next kit, Cessna Bird-Dog, en route. And busy planning for the next after that. Great way to spend cold fall/winter evenings.Anticipating a learning curve on the tissue covering...

It arrived undamaged very happy with transaction process

Now able to build flying model of the first airplane I soloed in 1977.

Had a lot of fun building this plane, but it needs patience. It took me quite some time to build it as I never built model planes before. You can easily damage the parts and finished plane can get tilted or crooked as mine if you are not very careful (it still looks very nice though). I broke the fuselage cage in many different sections but those are easy to repair. Initially I wanted to fly it but now I don't as I spent way too much time on it.

Pretty cool little models, but you have to watch out in certain steps because it gets kind of vague on the directions.I kind of go the extra mile with these things and get a little overboard.After applying the tissue paper, make sure you put on a few thin coats of clear lacquer to seal it.Then graphics and paint.Fabricated my own floats and all graphics done by masking off whatever it took to come up with mostly my vision.The decals are kind of horrible too, because when you go to soak them and pull them out they fall apart.
