Fascinations Metal Earth 1931 Ford Model A 3D Metal Model Kit

This is one of my favorite builds I’ve done. It’s so cute when finished. I’ve seen some very harsh reviews of these Metal Earth Models written by people who don’t know how they work. People get upset because they bend too many times and they break the metal. If you go slow and really pay attention to the directions, this won’t happen. That’s not a flaw in the product, it’s the nature of thin sheet metal. I love these little models and I’ve had fun assembling many of them.

Quality product. Good color on the parts. I wish the instructions were better but I was able to get it together. Nice truck model.

Really fun model for my son to assemble. Having it already colored and with printing/stickers was great so its not just silver like the rest.

The Ford Model A truck looks very nice when done.I have done a few Metal Earth models before. This one I thought would not be too hard to do. I was wrong. Things were going ok, but slow.Then I was on Page 3 where you form and install A-16 and B-17. They were two small pieces you attach to the floor board assembly. That went ok. Then I tried very carefully in a further step to put the fender Assembly B onto the floor board. I could not figure out how to do this because the A-16 part interfered. I ended up breaking the floor board A-1. After ordering another Model A kit I used a new floor board assembly and left out the A-16 and B-17 parts. Then everything went ok right to the end. You didn't even notice the missing parts.Remember this assembled model is only 3 1/2 inches long. Maybe a jeweler could do better.Anyway, I really like the completed truck.

the products were delivered in a timely manner. the models were smaller than expected.

looks great when completed and worth the build.

Once one studies the instructions (3-4 times) things are clearer, but still some trial and error will occur.

I am into all kinds of model kits, except the metal ones because the pieces are so easily to break off and can’t use glue to fix. Right now I'm running out of affordable model kits to do, so I decided to give the metal kits another try. I learned from my past experience, not use too much force to push tabs into the slots or break pieces off the metal sheets, and if I can’t make a piece fit, I just leave it. In the end, it’s put together without too much frustration and looks nice from a distance.

Honestly not worth your time buying.. cheaply made.. and remember one time bend only.. if mess up will break offTabs are small..

Es un muy buen modelo pero como la mayoría de los productos de modelismo los instructivos no son lo mejor del producto! Al final, en base a la experiencia que te va dando el hacer este tipo de modelos vas entendiendo y mejorando tu construcción. Se lo recomiendo a las personas que tengan la paciencia y herramienta básica! De lo contrario seguro te detonará un poco o un mucho de frustración.

Teile sind einfach zu kleinDas ganze müßte im Maßstab einfach größer sein , dann wärs Supper !

I think this maybe a good project to do .I bought it for my husband .He finds it to small to do. Thought it a bit expensive .

Beau passe temps.
