Metal Earth Fascinations MMS168 502518 - Apollo CSM + LM, Laser-Cut 3D Construction Kit, Model Kit, Metal Puzzle, 3D Metal Model, 3.5 Metal Boards, from 14 Years

Great. Very tricky, take your time but with patience you will have a beautiful and perfect little model. Be careful to read the instructions carefully. Not for kids, just too difficult.

Although not seen finished product built, 11year old boy was very happy

I found the item a challenge to assemble but boy was it worth it. A fantastic item that now takes pride of place in my Spaceflight model collection.

It is a shame this product is so small. Unfortunately, this is a very small and detailed model, meaning that it needs to be bent into place over a lot of small angles. Due to this nature (and being honest unclear instructions as to which way the sheet metal needs to be bent, if you misshape the pieces only once and try to correct it, the metals simply snaps in two. On one piece here and there this is correctable and can be held in place by other pieces, but for me, it happened on too many occasions and meant the model would not properly assemble and sadly had to be chucked away, despite looking so nice. Definitely not one for ammeters or people in it for the finished product.

Only for experts

Firstly, this is a 5 star product. All the negative reviews seem to come from people that either underestimated the difficulty or don't have previous experience with these type of miniatures.Some useful advice: get the right tools for the job, namely some pincer tweezers and a precision snipping tool. Take your time. It's very involved and potentially frustrating; things can snap off if you overwork the bending of the metal. Do not attempt if you have a shaky disposition, this requires dead stillness in your hands.The model is beautiful and works with the polished metal finishing wonderfully. It is very generously priced and a real winner for model building space enthusiasts such as myself!

One of the parts broke in half in the very first step- I decided to bypass this the best I could with the aim that I'd just superglue the parts later. Only, the instructions are abysmal. It does not explain how you are supposed to bend the pages- I had to stare at specific portions of the guide for 5-10 minutes and look up online references and videos just to find out that people were rolling parts around batteries rather than straight folds.I binned it. I'm absolutely bummed that I couldn't have this sat on display.

Bought to extend my space vehicle collection. Very disappointed. Very small, very complicated, sharp metal edges. Also instructions to small to read and very complicated.
