Great looking little planes.  Are they hard to build?

I think you reversed the top wing on the Jenny but they look good!

Yeah they can be very difficult to build due to their tiny size!  Sometimes a pair of tweezers is too big >_<  And yeah the Jenny was one of the first ones I built, you're probably right about the misplaced wing!  Thank you guys for your positive feedback :)

I think I've seen these kits at the local Barnes and Noble.

Yes exactly, CrashTestDummy!  I use a cuticle cutter to clip the pieces out.

My mom keeps buying these, and I keep building them. So far, I've done the Sherman, P-51 and Eiffel Tower. They're actually a lot of fun, and I use tapered paintbrush handles for a lot of the circular bends. I think I used a quarter or one of the gold-colored dollar coins for the turret on the Sherman. They're a fun challenge.
