Albatross D.III Bi-Plane 3D Wooden Puzzle - Laser Cut Balsa Wood Airplane Kit to Build for Adults - Perfect Wooden Airplane Jigsaw Puzzle Aircraft Model for Men Birthday Gift

Great model to build. As many of the previous reviews have stated the instructions are a bit vague. Best advise I have is to think the build through before you start, and have a lot of patience. Looking forward to building more models like this one.

This seller has some very sloppy approaches to things. They include duplicate parts of different material (see below) for the same applications without any mention and ridiculous instructions such as "pls follow your friend's instruction if it's your first time to make it." What friend? I need to go back and reconnect with my childhood imaginary friend???When asked, they tell me they assume I've got an experienced friend in waiting. This sort of nonsense is pretty unhelpful to say the least.The picture I'm posting here shows two sets of parts for the engine. One set is black plastic; the other is wood. Both identified with identical part numbers. I found the black plastic set and used it before I realized there were also almost all the parts also made of wood. According to the seller, the plastic isn’t what's supposed to be used. It's "decorative". ??? Nothing about this in the instructions however and now I've used plastic parts that are needed the wooden version. I can't make the engine out of wood now due to permanent-bond cement making it impossible to free up the needed plastic parts.With regard to the wooden siding, they aren't cut to fit and I'm needing to do a lot of trimming.I'm still working on the kit and hope to complete it, but I've had to work hard to understand some of the construction and even had to unassemble and re-do some parts. This kit is poorly made and poorly documented but I still hope to overcome.I strongly recommend using liquid hide wood glue!!!

Very nice model with fine details.

Very detailed, nice laser cuts. Now the bad...I'm an experienced plane builder. If u have never built one this can be a nightmare. Instructions are vague to say the least. And as for covering it on that thick of balsa no matter how much u soak it u will never get those bends in the tail u have to filet it in and sand it down. Also mounting holes for bottom wings are way low. Challenging but fun build.

Sequence of assembly is critical and must be determined by trial and error. Placement of some parts cannot be determined from the pictures provided. Labeling of some parts is difficult to read. The motor, machine guns and radiator are made up of 20-30 tiny plastic parts which require use of a magnifying glass to assemble.The assembly model of this cost and complexity should be properly documented.

Good model. Parts are well cut. Assembly went well with the wood being good quality and instructions were good.

for a $70 kit, it doesn't even have a cockpit and the decals are very basic!

I am so happy with my order !Thank you so much.
