I'm thinking about buying it but I've never put together something like this, and I'm also afraid if it doesn't arrive well, greetings from Mexico and thanks for the video!
With the way it's packaged I doubt you'll have to worry about damage in transit. It'll have to go through something spectacularly bad to ruin the model As for your experience level, I would absolutely not suggest you start with this piece. It's quite complicated, very finicky, and the scale means some very small pieces that need to be molded. I would suggest buying it before they stop production on them but holding off on building it until you get some experience with more forgiving models. Metal Earth has some models with an "easy" difficulty you could start out with and build up from there until you feel you're ready to tackle this beast.
I highly recommend you get an easier model to start your metal model journey. This is not for beginners. Once you've got a bit of practice on the easier (and cheaper) models out there come on back to this one. The final piece is quite beautiful and definitely worth the effort IMO.
@@blakewilliams9287 To be honest, you still need some steady hands to build these. If you get too rough or go too fast you'll misshape, or worse, snap the metal. It's usually correctable (sometimes with glue) but it is very easy to break a piece. Also, have you ever threaded a needle? Imagine doing that a few hundred times. That's as close as I can get to describing what it's like to get some of these tabs into the appropriate slots. Totally worth it, in my opinion, but if you're hesitating because you don't think you have steady hands I would suggest going with the cheaper, easy level stuff until you get a feel for it.
@@thehobbyistgeek6566 That's what i was going to do i saw your F-22 raptor video and that was only one sheet so i might start of with something like that

I just got the model and opened the box and wow. I guess for my first one might be to early haha

@@thehobbyistgeek6566 I agree once I get there I’ll let you know how it went.
@@tonyp6307 I look forward to it!
Do you just push the parts out or do you need cutters for it they just look very small
You need cutters. My F-22 Raptor Instructional video lists out all the tools you'll need for these builds.
@@thehobbyistgeek6566 Thanks its just i cant paint so plastic models are too hard for me so i wanted to do some research on metal ones
