Review: Great gift idea for model makers - Gift for a friend who loves planes. Not his first model and I’m sure will not be his last. Easy to assemble for a model maker not for a beginner. Size and quality as described. The attention to detail is remarkable. It is durable but fragile if you allow little children to handle it.
Review: Hard, but high quality - I've done over 40 of this metal models, and the paint job and quality of laser cutting on this one is the highest. Having said that, like the other reviewer, I did have a hard time with some joints because it was so intricate. Level of difficulty is hard, takes lots of skill and experience not to foul it up. And I did use a little hidden super glue. But the finished product is very cool!

### ⭐ The tail section gunnery folds will break as part C27 is too delicate.
*by A***N on March 24, 2025*

I will preface by saying this. I have built 20 successful metal earth models so far with most being on the harder difficulty. I have made mistakes and consequently used super glue very few times to fix broken tabs. I have only had to fix 1 or 2 really small tabs in 5 models with superglue and none in recent models. I have gotten pretty darn good. All that being said, this model is just as bad as the P-47. Step 12 is drawn VERY poorly and while I can figure it out since I've built a few models already, it requires to fold part C27 in such an insane way it's almost impossible to not break it. The tabs barely fit since they have to be made very accurately and it's absolutely insane that the part is not duplicated once or twice on a metal sheet. I would end up missing an important part of the rear gunner on the tail of the model so I ended up tossing the model away like I did the P-47. This is such a cool looking model that I want to build so bad but I have decided that unless they fix delicate tab folds in the WWII plane models or give duplicate pieces for the small folds, I will no longer be wasting my money buying them. I suggest buying many of their other models as they are very fun to build. I just wish I could get a replacement kit or see a forum where people discuss how they build this piece or even some advice from the people who designed this kit because I just regret getting this model over others that I could have successfully built as I have had no such problems with models with even greater difficulty than this one.
