More complex model kits offer a great challenge and generally result in more impressive finished models
Yeh! You did it! You skipped right past all those other pages and came straight to the complex stuff! I bet you assemble furniture without looking at the instructions. You go on road trips without using sat nav. You season your soup without even tasting it first, don’t you? You absolute legend!
Let’s cut to the chase – these model kits aren’t for beginners. They’ll require skill, determination and patience to assemble them. You’ve got all that stuff and more though, so you’ll be fine, right?
Complex wooden model kits
Generally, the more complex kits can be more expensive – they usually come with more parts and greater detail, so they are mostly suitable for adults. Some of these great wooden kits are great options if you’re looking for a challenge – everything from working models, to music boxs to pinball tables!

Complex plastic model kits
Plastic kits are great for the more artistically-inclined as you’ll have to glue the pieces together and paint the final model. Many of these plastic kits are very complex and come with many more pieces (250+), so they’re definitely better for adults. But the finished models are great – particularly the detailed vehicle model kits.

Complex metal model kits
Unlike wood kits, the more complex metal kits come in at a lower cost – the metal pieces are laser-etched on sheets, so the kits come with less packaging. Part of the complexity is the size of the model and pieces, which tends to be smaller. So you’ll need a steady hand to assemble these models, which makes these metal model kits more suitable for adults, although they can still make great gifts for kids with a bit of assistance.
