My recently retired husband really enjoyed putting this Dakota together. It reminds him of the early days at Heathrow when the real thing used to land and take off, including this exact one! The parts aren't too fiddly and the instructions were clear. It kept him busy for a couple of weeks and looks fantastic now it's finished and painted. Well worth the money for a little nostalgia.

Not the best kit in the world. I am returning to modelling after 25 years of doing none so out of practice and this is not the best kit to re-learn. Several instances of parts that are a bad fit, which, in some cases, cause major headaches later on as the consequences are very difficult to foresee; dry fixing no help as too many parts have to be dry fixed before the problem is revealed. Then, it is too late to correct (e.g. fitting of main wings hampered by a spar that is too big). I had to abandon my first attempt and try with a second go. Not ideal and still not completed as I write this. The second model had two parts that were distorted and one of them effectively unusable. Thankfully I was able to salvage this part from my first purchase. Considering the view that I have seen expressed in social media that, as a re-tooled version of a very old kit, this is a really good model that comes together well, I was rather disappointed. Some elements of the instructions are also very unclear; I never like reliance on pictures and symbols alone.Read full review

Lovely model nicely detailed and well up to Airfix Standards. Brings back memories of actual aircraft.

I have not built it, but having looked at the kit, it appears to be well moulded and detailed.
