JRotatori (verified owner) –
This model is awesome!! I took my time in building it (17 hrs. and 42 mins. over 3 days) and it was worth it. I highly recommend this model. Directions were easy to follow for all 6 bags of parts. I have two things to offer. First, I wish I would have put the church on base plates after bag 1 or bag 2. The plates would make it easier to move and give it stability. Second, the parachute strings are extremely difficult to work with to thread threw the little loops on the parachute harness, especially after it starts to fray. I recommend maybe using a needle or after a good night’s sleep tackle it in the morning, LOL.
Overall, I am really impressed with this model and it will make a great addition to my collection and my U.S. History classroom.
