## Description

Review: A fantastic challenge of patience and attention to detail. - I simply do NOT understand the negative reviews. Let me address the two most common complaints: Common complaint 1: "These are not for kids" response: No, no they are not. nowhere does the product imply it is for young children, and giving the product a bad review because your kids cant put it together is simply daft. In-fact the product description clearly states it is ideal for "tweens" and older. That's a bare minimum age of 10. And that's no guarantee that it's appropriate for your kid. Maybe your 6 year old has extremely developed motor skills and patience and this model is perfect for them, and maybe you are 40 and don't have the level of motor skills and patience necessary for these models, it all depends on the user, so don't give a perfectly good product a bad review due to user error. Common complaint 2: "these are made of flimsy, low quality metal" response: yes, they are flimsy. no, the metal is not low quality. it's a thin sheet of steel, the product explicitly says that it is thin, ergo the end result is delicate. it is a model, NOT A TOY. if the metal were any thicker, the end results wouldn't look good at all. they are supposed to be thin. You cannot be clumsy with these models. you have to use the proper tools, have steady hands and pay attention. That is the challenge, and that is why finishing the model is so rewarding. I'm usually not so combative with other reviewers, but after having such a good evening with a couple of these models, it irritated me that people wrote negative reviews on them simply because they had personal problems with them. They are well engineered, and there is nothing wrong with them. They look great on a shelf when you finish them and they are a challenge to build, especially with this particularly delicate one!
Review: Very challenging but rewarding - This is a beautiful model and is difficult to do. There are a couple of tricks to make it work. The most important is to twist the tabs after they are fitted into the slots. This helps prevent bending the parts that are being joined. The engine needs to be assembled so the longer belt side is positioned to the right when viewed from the front. I did mine wrong and it prevents me from attaching the braces for the propellers to the engine pulleys. Because the tabs are delicate, I can't disassemble the plane to fix this. I also assembled one of the wing brace boxes incorrectly and broke a tab when I disassembled the box. I was able to use some clear tape to hold it together after I mounted it to the wings. Not perfect but it works. The braces that the propellers mount to require that the parts where the tabs are (Not the tabs themselves) be bent to form a "C" to allow the propeller to be mounted. I'm 58 so lots and lots of light were needed for me to see what I was doing. A must have is a pair of needle nose pliers. I cut the end off of a tooth pick so I could use the flat end to push parts around but it may not be necessary for those more talented than me. In spite of the error I made that prevents me from attaching the braces to the engine pulleys, I have built a very fine model. It was very challenging but I was thrilled with the result and will be purchasing another model of a different kind soon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Have built almost a dozen of these. Stick with Easy to Moderate until you've built a lot
*by A***D on February 27, 2020*

Love my Metal Earth models, they are very fairly priced and take anywhere from 30 minutes to multiple hours to build. I highly recommend them to those who are looking for an affordable hobby. I bought the Metal Earth Tool Kit as well as another third party one from amazon and I mainly just use the Metal Earth Tool Kit. I have a stack of models to build and love spending the evening working on them, just practice some beginner level models as you will only get frustrated on anything above Moderate. I'm still working up to the "Challenging" difficulty level and often it's more fun to just build a bunch of easy-moderate level then to get stuck on a hard one and get frustrated. You will have broken and bent pieces when you first start but be patient and have fun! In regard to THIS Model: This particular model has some very thin airplane strut pieces so will bend easily but was a fun one to build. I have built a nice collection that makes for great little artwork in the house.
