## Description

Product Description 1: 72 - consolidated p>by-5a catalina Set Contains: Model kit, decals and instructions.

Review: Idrovolante-Buon rapporto qualità prezzo - Il prodotto è arrivato nei tempi previsti, buone le plastiche nel taglio e nell'assemblaggio, prende bene il colore, gli adesivi tendono un poco a girarsi( forse bisogna aspettare qualche secondo in più). Servirebbe un supporto posteriore per montarlo con le ruote aperte (tende ad alzare il muso)). Risolto con parte della cornice dei pezzi. Buono nel complesso
Review: Great birthday present - Items arrived just as described and delivered on time, packaged well. Fantastic present for Grandson
