I bought this because my son likes old WWII planes and this was a reasonable way to get one for him. The model has a decent amount of detail but not a lot but in our case that wasn't all that important. However, my son is 3.5 years old and I was just looking for something for him to fly around the house. I bought it figuring that as a "snap" model it would be sturdier than a regular model and it is, otherwise I wouldnt' have let him play with it at all. It had very few small parts and I left off anything (the landing gear for example)small that might pose a choking hazard though he is beyond putting things in his mouth. He has great fun with it but it is not a toy, we just use it as one. Not too bad for a "model" either. I was actually surprised with how detailed and accurate it was given it is a snap model.
