If your want a model that is quick, easy to assemble with reasonable detail and pre-painted then this model fits the bill.
It is very easy to make and looks very good on a shelf. I glued the solar panels on as they didn't fit too well and fell off every time some one picked it up.
As a toy this will not work well, as I said the solar panel fall off. If it is thrown into a toy box it will break. There are far better fully built toys available for play toys.
It has a stand so does get displayed in flight.
As a display model it's a good and cheap option.

My 12 year old son is a great fan of the Quay Woodcraft construction kits. He has made about 12 different models. He was very frustrated with this model. The instruction plan, based on numbered parts, has no description of how to do the rigging. It took both of us a long time, with a hot glue gun to assist, to finish the rigging. You had to guess a lot of the time from the photo where to tie knots. Without the glue the knots kept falling off the ends of the spars(?). Not one of their best models. Try a different one of their models first.
