Professor PUZZLE MMS269 Star Wars Metal Earth Poe Dameron's X-Wing Model Kit

First time building a model and really enjoyed it! Was difficult to begin with (especially that pesky step 1) but by the end I really got the hang of it. I will definitely be trying out some of their other models.

excellent

Great for any star wars fan, my brother loved it and had fun putting it together though this particular model is quite fiddly and one part did have to be reattached with super glue.

While I have not purchased this specific metal earth model yet, I have about 20. Reading the other reviews I have to agree that some of the parts are too flimsy ant the tabs do indeed break if you are too rough with them during assembly. That being said, provided you have the appropriate tools, needle nose pliers/tweezers and cutters, the pieces are easily removed from the kit and are not too difficult to handle.My tips for anyone building this or any other metal earth model:1. Prepare your workspace, use a soft cloth so that parts don't bounce if you drop them and make sure it is a plain single colour.2. Read through the instructions before you begin assembly, some of them seem to be easier if you connect parts together in a slightly different order, such as the cannons on the TIE fighters.3. TAKE YOUR TIME!!! I cannot stress enough how important this is. Most issues arise if you try to rush assembly.4. Have some resin type glue on stand-by. I have had accidents while making some of my collection, such as the USS Enterprise D, the instructions are very vague on the way to shape the part thar connects the saucer section to the warp drive section and mine broke. A decent 2 part, fast setting resin glue can fill the space and effectively repair the damage.Once I have purchased this particular model, I may write a review, although my experience so far with these products has been excellent.

It looks like a cool product and I was really keen to get my hands on this.I'd imagine once this is made it will look great however the metal is so small and figety that me and my step father both gave up as it's just too difficult,shame as these look great.

Fast delivery horrible product. I have a few of these metal earth products. This one by far is the worst. The pieces snap very easy and can not be stuck back on. Ended up throwing this one in the bin.

Looks cool when you see one that’s been pre made on display but the idea that anyone can make this is a joke.The pieces all come attached to one of 2 metal sheets, but trying to remove them warps the pieces, as well as the sheet, which then warps all the other pieces it holds.The smaller pieces are the worst, as they don’t bend along the premade fold lines, instead damaging the full piece. You’ll have maybe 3 attempts to correct it before the piece snaps entirely.Not worth it unless you feel like buying multiple packs so you can get do-overs on all the pieces that snap.

I really wanted to make this model, getting the metal pieces from the grid was practically impossible for me it took so much force the small parts and connectors broke so you couldn't attach the part to the model. Also having to make the smallest bends on very fragile pieces is very tricky. maybe if your a hell of a lot more skilled than i am this is doable, but sadly i do not have the force.
