ANyone bought one of these? I think they are out of Hong Kong. 1/48 WW2 a/c. Kind of simple looking kits (plastic,prepainted and decaled, about a dozen pieces)that come with a screw driver, so i guess u don't need glue?? My nephews are always wanting to take down my planes and zoom around the room with them. Maybe i could pick these things up to keep them away from the real models. They actually didn't look that bad, i just got a quick glance as i was passing through checkout.

I actually bought one that is a diecast metal copy of the old Tamiya M4A3 Sherman in 1/35. I had built the ancient Tamiya M4A3E8 motorized tank for my 5 yr old but he tore it up playing with it. The M4A3 was motorized and pre-assembled with stickers on it. It has lasted longer than the model and he loves it. When its not carpet crawling, he stores it on a shelf next to my Sherman kit.

The NewRay a/c look like diecast metal knock offs of the older Monogram 1/48 scale aircraft kits.
