Fascinations Metal Earth P-51D Mustang Sweet Arlene 3D Metal Model Kit

I have just about every single one of the Metal Earth military models, and the newer models that have added the color are just absolutely exceptional. If you life tedious, detail work, then these are an absolute must have. Vast improvements over the earlier plane and helicopter models, but also much more intricate. I recommend shaping tools to help with some of the bends, and a good pair of surgical tweezers to help with the tabs. All in all, I'll get every single one of these, twice over. **ADVICE** Take your time. Pay close attention to the instructions, and slow down. The end result is absolutely satisfying.

If you're thinking about doing this one as a first model, please reconsider. This was perhaps the one of the most difficult models to assemble for me. NOT for beginners! No joke. Definitely well worth it in the end! Tips - grab some needle nose hemostats (no serrations) to avoid damaging the paint. Tweezers and very very fine sprue cutters are needed here.

As an older adult, I had to use magnifying light and reading glasses to have any chance to compete this. I also had to glue a few spots as metal to metal sides will break if bent too many times. I would be impressed with anyone that can get this done without glueing something together. I thought this was a more challenging kits of the 4 metal earth kits I have done so far. i think some of my angles and connections are not as clean as i would like them to be and some parts are barely hanging on. People should want to do this for the challenge

I have a whole shelf of metal earth kits and this is my favorite. Medium difficulty and the colors come out super cool. The gear doesn't fold but the flaps can be turned. The body is the only curve you have to do freehand. I'd leave off the fuel tanks. Definitely recommend as your second or third (you'll want some practice, this one comes out really cool cool if you do)

This was my first model of this type. The instructions were very clear and detailed. The tab and Slot Construction is fairly easy to assemble. Magnifying glass would be helpful, tweezers are a must. They suggest using small wire cutters to remove pieces from the tree but I just cut them out with my pocket knife.

That is not for kids . So tiny details and hard to build it up. Even my husband was confused to work on it.

Was kinda disappointed with this item. Was hard to build and wasn’t worth the time and money. No glue or instructions how build it . Very misleading!!

Every one of these I have gotten are great. I have done I think 13 of them and plan on ordering more in the near future. I think the most difficult one was the Hogwarts express train lot of pieces. I plan on ordering more in the future!!!!

Delicate material, definitely need glue, would buy again

No fue lo que esperaba

集中してできるが、後輪など細かすぎて折れてしまった。もう少し大きいと良いと思った。爪で止めるのが湾曲部は特に難しい。 指だけでやってみたが、ラジオパンチは必須！

Hard to build, extremely fragile. Almost need magnifying glass to bend tabs with tweezers. One wrong bend and entire plane is ruined.
