Fun to build
It is more work than a plastic model, but the parts go together much easier now that they are laser cut. One hint is to attach the tissue with a glue stick. I colored the camouflage with magic markers. Paint would be smoother. A light coat of Krylon clear lacquer is used to finished it off. I haven't had a chance fly it yet, but there are utube video's of them flying.

Great Laser Cut kit, shipped USPS and arrived crushed
A classic Guillows kit, it's perfect as a small scale rubber powered model. The shipping however is not good. This shipped in an amazon large paper envelope via USPS. This kit NEEDS to be inside another box with the "air pillow" packing for safe damage free shipping, not in a large paper bag with a mailing address on it. I will not buy any more Guillows kits from amazon if they are all going to ship in the paper bag style envelopes. Ship in a real box.

Cool plane
Super fun build! It took me some time to get to this point, and now that see it this way I am very happy with what I’ve done. This, being my first balsa kit since I was a kid, was made easier with very well detailed instructions. Kinda wish guillow’s still included the plans to make the plain rc. Oh well. This will stay the intended rubber band powered version. It obviously still needs paint, and a new rubber band (I broke the one that came with it playing with it).

Awful instructions but do able, DON’T get ripped off by paying more than $15, it is not worth more.
This price was reasonable, several con artists are trying to sell for $40-50 should be around $10 or less. Instructions are terrible, but one can work through with patience.

Great kit From Guillow's
Great kit from Guillow's - updated from die cut to laser cut makes it a better kit as well as from 1/20th (.050) thick to 1/16" (0625). Built these kits back in the late 1960's but these are much better than those days, as well as the tissue paper is much better quality. Paired with the new CA adhesives (Zap-a-Gap) they are a great hobby I am glad I got back into.

Love the laser-cut!
Liked the precision laser cut parts. They are much better than die-cut parts. No crushed edges. Parts fit together very well. The plans were a little vague when installing stringers on the fuselage. I was disappointed that wire was not provided for the landing gear.
