Metal Earth Air Force One 3D Metal Model Kit Fascinations

These are typically fun, but this particular one is a waste. I would go as far as to claim the metal earth has an issue with our presidents due to how small and poorly made this set is. For such a large plane in reality, it’s quite sad this is one of the smallest sets I have assembled. Too much bending on small pieces that it flakes paint off or breaks off the tiny pieces when bending even with tweezers. I had to superglue some which immediately removes paint. Absolutely horrible! Wish it wasn’t too late for a refund, but still early enough for the garbage.

I love metal earth, I have a bunch of them made. The razorcrest was excellent and the quality of it was great. The Air Force one model is simply too small and the paint is sub par quality that flakes off very easily as you bend the pieces into the correct shapes with tweesers or pliers. I have dedicated tools to do these model and even doing a near perfect assembly on some of the pieces causes the final to look like it was sent through a blender from the paint job. I fnally just threw it away as I want to have a piece that looks good after assembly and this one just won't. If it had been twice as big, I don't think I would of had as much issue with the paint quality but the size of it requires too much force on all the curves required for the paint to survive as is.
