Review: Impressive and accurate - The Airbus A380 kit is up to Revell's usual high standard. My 14 year old grandson has been able to slowly, but accurately build the kit in order to add it to his collection. It does take patience, but these kits really do encourage engineering style methodology and instils new skills. Not for the faint hearted, but a great kit producing a beautifully accurate model.
Review: 3 weeks of building this one - This is a Revell model with loads of tiny, fiddly bits to fit together and paint. This model is not for children to do and certainly not to play with. That said it took me 3 weeks to build and paint but it loved it, the model has lots of fine details and intricate building to do so well worth the effort.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for older beginners
*by J***N on 2 March 2019*

I bought this as my first build, it’s a great large scale model which I found reasonable in difficulty. It was fiddly in places so is probably not suitable for younger moddelers without close supervision. Produces a great finish but requires you to buy extra paints if you want to exactly match the livery, however this is pretty standard for this kind of model. The included instructions are good but would be better if they included advice or clearer instructions on the best point in the build process to add the livery stickers and/or paint the plastic parts. I ended up sticking some parts together before adding on one of the stickers which should’ve been placed on first to get the beat finish. Would recommend for anyone wanting to get in to the hobby providing you have sufficient patience!
