This is not a toy. This is a superbly engineered kit. Not only it is designed to the highest standards but its execution is also of very high quality. Pieces go together as they should and there is never a problem with the fit. It is intricate but highly satisfactory if you follow the assembly sequence. I made two errors, minor, and I know that were I to do it again it would be near flawless, I am a surgeon in real life, all my career I have trained my hands for accuracy and three dimensional space orientation. Still I found this kit enjoyably challenging. The end result is small in size but rather inspiring. I built it as part of a display I am mounting to celebrate this great accomplishment 50th anniversary. It will do just fine, but it is not a toy, not meant to be handled and it is small like a Faberge egg, a jewel. I am not a modeler, It is unlikely I will have the time to built an other kit, but this one was fun. I am told this is the most difficult of the Metal Hearth kit, do not worry, you can do it, just take your time, get a pair of sharp and pointed cutters, get MAGNIFICATION. If the eyes can see it the hands can follow. Best of luck, have fun.
