PHPaul Posted January 8 Posted January 8 One of my grandsons got me this for Christmas. I've built a F4U Corsair from ME which is likely where he got the idea. To give you an idea what's involved, the item in the picture consists of three subassemblies, each with 2 or 3 parts. Fold to shape, insert Tab A in Slot B, fold the tabs over. My magnifying visor (and my patience) are getting a workout! 2 Quote
mustang1989 Posted January 8 Posted January 8 (edited) These are actually some good fun to build Paul and it looks like you're doing a good job with this so far. Tedious.......yes......but the end results are so worth it. I built the Fokker DR-1 a couple of years back and it came together pretty nicely for me. Edited January 8 by mustang1989 2 Quote
bh1701 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 I have tackled a few Metal Earth kits - a guitar for a musician friend, and a BNSF train for a friend when he retired from BNSF. I have a few of the Star Trek kits to build, and also the Fokker tri-plane. I will work on these someday when I want a challenge and want to practice my swearing. 😊. They definitely require a lot of patience to build them. Good luck with the Arizona! Can't wait to see the finished product. Bart 1 Quote
PHPaul Posted January 10 Author Posted January 10 Well, that went back in the "box" quickly. Much smaller overall and much more detail than the Corsair. Given that I was absent the day patience was handed out, added to the fact that I'm 74 with failing eyesight and arthritic hands, I put it away before I did something I'd regret. Maybe later... Quote
TonyK Posted January 10 Posted January 10 I have built a few of these myself and happily no one has gifted me any more of them at Christmas. I have enjoyed success with some and failure with others. Quote
