Fascinations Metal Earth ICONX Yamato Battleship 3D Metal Model Kit

Großartiges Modell. Seht detailliert. Allerdings nichts für absolute Neueinsteiger. Ansonsten sehr zu empfehlen.

It looks good but not easy to assemble

This model is very nice looking when complete and it really has a lot of very good details and looks great when complete. It is very challenging, this should not be your first of these types of kits. Also, this is the only one I have built thus far that I have found tedious in spots. One step requires you to bend 16 identical little guns together and each one took a few minutes. That is understandable given that it is a battleship with a lot of anti-aircraft guns but it may trigger your ADHD. Maybe look ahead in the instructions and do one of those now and again between the early steps if you are like me. I found the instructions to be very clear except in a few spots. - The instructions have a legend that indicates where to find the pieces by number on the sprues. When there are multiples of the same piece, said piece is indicated one time in the legend and given a color, and all identical pieces have the same color in the legend. Thats great, but there are so many identical pieces that some of the colors are not very distinct, like this piece is dark green, and this other piece is slightly less dark green. - When there are multiple identical pieces it will tell you say B-36, which means look at the legend for sprue B, piece 36, then perform a visual treasure hunt on the tiny legend to find all the pieces that are the same un-distinct shade. However, it doesn't tell you that the same piece is on multiple sprues or just one. If it says B-36 you will know at least one of that piece will be on sprue B. However, they might all be there or they may not, there might be some on Sprue A or maybe some on Sprue C, who knows. It is a puzzle you need to solve over and over. Instead, indicating "Part 36 - 3x on B, 7x on C, 12x on A" would save a bit of time. - Carefully look at how the hull sides go together, how there is a rather severe crease you need to make on the hulls under the airplane hangers and lastly carefully look at how the stern needs to wrap around before you put those pieces on. I think the instruction problems with finding multiple pieces only manifested itself with this kit since there are so many pieces and they are so small. On other kits, with the same instructional approach, the color coded legend is not really an issue.

Modello impegnativo, ma ben fatto. Molto dettagliato. Consigliato.

Muito bem feito.
