Metal Earth Aircraft Kit

Metal Earth Aircraft Kit
In 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a windswept beach in North Carolina. The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. Nearly 50 years later, the Cessna 182 Floatplane incorporated sturdy floats attached to the landing gear, making it suitable for accessing remote or inaccessible areas. Now your teen can replicate the Wright Brothers' airplane and the Cessna 182 Floatplane with an aircraft with the Metal Earth Aircraft Kit. The intricately designed, remarkably detailed pieces are laser etched onto square sheets of thin metal. He’ll simply snap out the pieces, bend the tabs to attach them, and create a highly detailed replica of these 2 aircraft that will easily fit in his hand. Striking to look at, especially when placed to catch the light, the aircraft model measures about 3-5 inches long when completed, with no glue required. The tool kit includes a clipper for cutting pieces from the metal sheet and a pair of pliers that hold parts securely and creates tight connections by pulling and twisting tabs. Because of the components' tiny size and the model's complexity, the Metal Earth Aircraft Kit is ideal for ages 14 and older.
