Metal EarthFascinations Premium Series P-38 Lightning 3D Metal Model Kit

Very detailed model of the Lightning. The difficulty rating as listed was pretty accurate, and I've been building these Metal Earth models for quite a few years now.This is definitely not a model for beginners; I'd suggest building a couple of the simpler models like the Wright Brothers Flyer and the Spirit of Saint Louis first so you get an idea of how these models and their instructions work.

Just started into the Metal Earth Puzzles and finding them fun to put together. Challenging puzzle much like the others and requires patience.

As someone who struggles with cones in these metal earth models this plane in particular was very hard. The fuselage comes in multiple smaller pieces instead of larger pieces like the B-24 which lead to some frustrations, but, overall another excellent model. Needs patience!

Better start in the "easy" class. Need skill and patience.

I build a lot of models as my main hobby. I have built about 20 of the Metal Earth models and enjoy building them and looking at them. I especially like the plain small shiny steel models that are kind of quirky caricatures of the originals - they are mostly correct and represent the originals well. However, theses models are getting larger and the original "bend and twist tabs" do not suit these larger models well. They are still the tiny little tags and make it very frustrating for building these larger and heavier models. By the time I got to the end of this one, I was afraid to handle it as it was so flimsy with all of the tiny tabs barely holding it together. To make these better, Metal Earth needs to make the tabs proportional to the size of the model and add more tabs as these planes are increasingly complex. A+ on the graphics, though...

Big mistake choosing this kit which looks unrealistic because the fit of the sheet metal parts is horrible because tiny parts have to be bent round and micro tabs have to be forced into micro holed and then the hair size tabs folded over. Parts are so small they are impossible to handle. A Jeweler would be challenged putting this together requiring hundreds of hours that could be better spent building a plastic model that would look more realistic with much better fit. You will regret buying this and end up pitching it into the waste basket cursing having to go our and buy a better model.

You may enjoy this type of model.As described.I did not enjoy pressing to get parts to fit. But this it how the model works. Bend press and press. Try not to break. And use you imagination. Kinda like a bendy Lego but with out the Lego

i was not aware of these metal models before purchasing. looks to be quality product but parts are very small and it was just too difficult for me to complete.

Descripción exacta del producto. Buen material. Justo lo que buscaba.
