Review: Fun Project with Cool Finished Product - My brother’s always loved planes and aerospace stuff, so I’ve spent several years listening to him talk about how cool planes are (the Blackbird in particular was a favorite when he was a little kid). I got this for him as a present since he also really loves hands-on stuff and is quite handy with those sorts of projects, so I figured it would be a good combination of two things he really likes. He’s never done any metal modeling before, but he has received other modeling kits in the past and has been quite good at putting them together, so I wasn’t too worried about whether he could handle it or not. On one hand, the finished project looks really cool and he seemed to like the present quite a lot (he got to work on it the moment he opened the present). On the other hand, it might have been a little too easy for him - he enjoyed the process of putting it together, but he finished it in less than half an hour. I was kind of hoping it might be a lengthier project, but I did purposely pick a simpler one, so I can’t complain. I’ll probably get him a more complex one next time. It would be nice if the model could be slightly larger, but it still looks awesome nevertheless.
Review: A decent representation of the Blackbird - The kit itself is a good solid kit from this series. I produces a nice model and offers a little bit of a challenge to build. Relative to the other kits in the Metal Earth line, this kit falls in the middle-range overall. The biggest challenge with this kit is rounding the pieces properly. To properly reproduce the form of the real plane, the fuselage and engines require rounding and reverse-rounding nearby the join to the wings. Neither the instructions nor the pictured kit represent this properly. If you wish to make a more accurate model, this rounding can prove challenging due to the size of the pieces. However, if you are not this particular about the detail, then the kit is not too difficult to build. I would rate the difficulty of this kit as a 3 out of 5 if you follow the instructions directly, or 4.5 out of 5 if you try to properly replicate the real curves of the plane. The finished model is a fairly decent representation of the real plane. The nose, cockpit and tail of the plane are tricky to form properly. Disclaimer regarding bad reviews by others (I'm starting to post this on all my Metal Earth reviews now): Be careful when reading the bad reviews posted by some. Some people blame their inability to complete this style kit on the kit itself. Don't be fooled, the kit itself is very high quality. The detail is superb, and the metal pieces are sturdy if you don't bend them repetitively (as you would if you made a mistake). Hence, I continue to recommend these kits to experienced builders with good manual dexterity. This is probably better suited to adult builders.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are tools needed? which ones?**
A: You might be able to build this (or any Metal Earth kit) with no tools. It's infinitely easier to do the very small tabs though with a fine needle nose pliers or maybe even tweezers. Some of the rounded parts are also best done with some kind of tool to keep the shape even. I think I used a fat marker to round the fuselage and keep it looking nice.

**Q: Is this made and manufactured in the USA?? Does it use U.S.A. steel? (Remember, "U.S. Steel, is a Chinese company".**
A: Package says made in China 
I’m not sure about the steel.

**Q: Why is it gray?**
A: It's gray metal, there pretty small but cool

**Q: Does it come with the stand?**
A: Yes - the stand is part of the kit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The thing is smaller than you think, but fun to build.
*by A***F on March 29, 2015*

My first reaction was: hell this is small! Apart from that, it's fun to build, not that hard, there is actually a room for error due to the size of the model, just don't rush it and take your time. You might want to buy some really small tools to get it right, maybe throw a magnifying glasses while you are at it. I'm not sure where to display this now, yet again, too small. I wish it was cheeper, for that size the price is not good in my opinion (Keep in mind that International shipping for this item alone will cost more than the item's price, the solution is to buy a lot of models at a time).
