Metal model kit gift ideas
Like wood kits, metal models don’t usually require gluing or painting to complete the model, which makes them a little less complex. However, they do tend to be smaller models, so with more intricate metal pieces (with small tabs that need to be folded to assemble the model), a steady hand is required. But, the final models are lovely little keepsakes and a great challenge for all skill levels.
