Metal Earth produces a large number of licensed and classic metal model kits. Each kit comes with a few flat sheets of metal pieces that can be pressed out and assembled by following the simple instructions, resulting in a wonderful little steel model.

The most widely produced and strategically important British single-seat fighter of World War II. The Spitfire, renowned for winning victory laurels in the Battle of Britain (1940-41), served in every theatre of the war and was produced in more variants than any other British aircraft.

This lovely little Spitfire metal kit from Metal Earth is a 1:144 scale model with 26 pieces. Although the simplicity makes it good for beginners, some of the pieces are small and require a steady hand to assemble so children might require some assistance from adults. The metal pieces are laser etched with detailing, so no need for painting when built. The piece slot together without gluing but some of the tabs are very small and might need tweezers or flat nose pliers to help out. A great little low-cost starter kit that’s a perfect gift for aviation enthusiasts or budding model builders.
