## Description

Metal Earth James Webb Space Telescope 3D Laser Cut Miniature Kit MMS497 : desertcart.co.uk: Toys & Games

Review: Nice model if you take the time and effort. - These are really nice models. This one was my third, after the Apollo lunar lander, and the Hubble Space Telescope. They are great for model makers. But be aware they do require a bit of effort as they can be very fiddly to build. Some of the parts are very small and can be difficult to form into shape. The efforts is worth it , as the completed models are very nice. Just the right size as well.
Review: An excellent model of an incredible space craft - This is a very accurate metal model of the JWST built from lazer cut metal sheet parts that you fold & bend, and lock together by inserting tags through slots and twist or bend etc. If you are familiar with Metal Earth's models of skyscrapers and bridges etc., you'll know what to expect. The lazer etching is astonishingly delicate and the overall accuracy of the parts interlocking is exceptional. It is a self assembly model of course - you don't need glue but you do need tweezers or delicate long nosed plier, small side cutters (or a modelling knife) to cut the parts away from the 4 master sheets and pretty good eyesight (or a magnifying glass). Some of the parts are colour etched on one side to give the final model the correct colour scheme. The iconic main mirror is of course reflective gold. Reasonable modelling skills and a fair bit of patience are needed. Scale is 1:221 and the finished model is about 3" high & 4" long. It comes on a plinth. In the absence of a main stream pre-assembled model making company adding the JWST to its product list, I think this currently is as good as it gets for those wanting this model in their collection. Well done, Metal Earth!
