Metal Earth Red Ford 1908 Model T 3D Metal Model Kit Fascinations

These things are really cool, definitely needs a lot of patients. Definitely one of the easier ones out lots of tiny pieces

This model is not, I repeat not for those who think they are getting an easy to assemble model. The kit is very small, and is great for those who know what the metal earth models are all about. They are not easy to assemble, but they go together well if you know what you are doing and know what you are in for. I love doing the kits, but I also have a lot of patience for this type of build.

Wasn't what I was wanting

I've been a Metals Earth enthusiast for a long time. Although it's been a while since I assembled a model, I had previously assembled the 1908 Ford Model T when it was initially made available in an all-stainless steel version. Once assembled, this model is beautiful, and I enjoyed putting it together. However, I had to knock two stars off the product because of two issues: First, a few simple tweaks to the order in which pieces are put together would have made this model significantly easier to assemble. I would recommend that anyone putting this together look at the instructions in advance and think critically about whether they would be better served by reversing certain steps. Second, something about this edition makes several pieces much more vulnerable to breakage: I broke the bottom wire of the front piece and the clutch when I took them out of the metal sheet (the set comes with an extra clutch piece... I broke both). I didn't break any of these pieces when I put together the original stainless steel model. It's clear that they re-arranged the pieces in the steel sheets when they colorized the model, so I'm not sure if it was the re-arranging that make the pieces harder to remove (these breaks would not have happened if the connector pieces were attached to thicker parts of the piece), or if they are using worse/thinner metal. Not a reason not to buy, as even with theses defects the model is nice, but something to be aware of.

Came on time, was in pristine condition, all pieces and parts present, got many positive comments when it was finished.

I am new to metal earth. Enjoyed putting together. Good hobby for a winter day. Prefer the color models.

Item is too small and cannot assemble. Returning it for refund. Bob

This model is fairly easy to assemble if the instructions are followed carefully. Not a lot of hard bending.
