STEM Assembled Model Plane Kit Building Toy, 201 Pieces STEM Projects Airplane Building Kits for Kids Age 8-12, STEM Educational Model Kit Gifts for Teenage Boys & Girls 8+, Red, 7*9*3 inch

My apologies, I just couldn't stop. If I found something interesting in a drawer, the bottom of a tool box, or around the house ... and could find a way to bolt it on, I did!High art, no ... but entertaining, yes.The underlying model was just fine. simple, inexpensive, and not too hard to assemble.Would be appropriate, I guess, as a STEM toy for a child.or a retired old manwith maybe too much time on his hands.5 stars

I got this as a fun project for me and my 9 year old son. He found it too challenging and there were a few moments where I struggled too. The directions were somewhat difficult to follow because the pictures are so small. I also noticed that the plane on the box looks a little different then the one in the directions. Because of this, trying to use the larger box image as a reference wasn't as helpful as it could have been. We finished building this in just a few hours. The very last few steps were the hardest to figure out. We aren't sure it turned out exactly right but my son is still happy with how it turned out.

My nephew enjoys it and the education he gets putting a metal plane together. 😊

One piece for the wheel assembly is missing

My 10 y/o son was excited to try assembling this airplane. We brought it with us while on vacation and he worked on it for a couple hours a day for 4 days with occasional help from myself. The instructions are not very clear (pictures only, no text) and many times my son would have to disassemble parts of the plane to get another piece on because the the picture instructions were not in the correct order. There are times when you will have to bend the metal so the parts will fit together. It is advertised for ages 8+, but realistically the child would probably need to be 12+ to assemble this without help unless the child is an engineer in the making. I am pretty mechanically inclined, but sometimes it took me a few minutes s staring at the pictures to figure out how to install some of the pieces. Also, you have fat fingers and big hands or arthritic hands, it will be very difficult for you to attach the screws and nuts on certain pieces. There were many times my son got really frustrated because after spending a lot of time getting pieces together, he realized that he will have to disassemble parts of it to make pieces fit. This airplane definitely requires a lot of patience, but can be a good learning too for kids to teach patience and that sometimes you make mistakes and you will need to go back and correct the mistakes. The biggest complaint I have about this airplane kit is the crappy instructions. They should redo the instructions and make it into a step by step booklet versus a sheet of pictures front and back. Also it would be nice to label the different lengths of screws on the plastic bag because it is difficult for a child to figure out the lengths per instructions and the screw measurement on the box. My son did finish the plane, but due to the need to bed some of the metal pieces, the plane doesn’t exactly look like the one in the advertisement due to not being fully square. The cost of this airplane kit is appropriate, just need better instructions.

Didn’t expect this with the price but really nice made product.

The instructions are the worst the pieces don’t line up correctly! Had three screws left bc they didn’t tell me to add them but they show them there in the picture on the box and then one just didn’t line up with the holes and couldn’t put it on. It also doesn’t allow easy access to tightly screw in a good majority of the screws and nuts. This is probably not a play with plane either otherwise it’ll fall apart!

This metal aircraft toy set is rated as suitable for children aged 8 and up. I ordered the set for my 6-year-old to work on with my husband. After assembling, most adults would agree that it is a predominantly adult job unless the child is quite skilled at assembly. They usually work with building blocks and my son loves stem activities. This airplane comes with a manual book and toolset. The model measures 3" x 7" x 9" after assembly, and has adjustable screws for movement. The metal sheets are made of iron and nickel plated, while the cabin is made of environmental protection PP material. My husband and child are currently working on the plane and I will update you with further time when they are finished to whether this was a successful endeavor.

I built this with a 3 year old. No issues. He loved it

Not all pieces in box. Waste of money

Very well made model , some difficulty assembling small parts. Good instructions.

The media could not be loaded. This building kit is bought for my nine-year-old son. It is a good choice to keep him busy for the whole weekend lol When you are tired of paying much on Lego, try this one.

Maybe for 12+ but our 8 yr old kept bending the metal bits - very tricky to assemble even with adult supervision. Ended up with the plane bits back in the box and a Lego project assembled!
