Review on Fascinations ICONX Saint Basil's Cathedral Metal Model Kit by Paul Lee

Revainrating 3 out of 5

For experienced model builders+. NOT recommended for beginners

It's not as hard as some think - they probably just lack the experience. This was my 5th model and I completed it in 10.5 hours (although I obviously have a natural knack for micro assembly). Not as difficult as tedious: you'll have to glue a dozen tabs at a time, so bend angles are critical; it can get pretty frustrating at times. Definitely NOT for beginners, beginners or hobbyists. On a general/average scale I would rate it as an expert. Also, be careful when removing parts from the sheet metal (as always) as there are small parts that can break, such as: B. Ships. I haven't had this problem but I can see it happening. Overall this is a fun, majestic and important piece that will leave you feeling tired but accomplished as it is one of the most intricate and intricate building models.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Clarity
