I would buy the kit with glue(the toy store would only sell you glue if you also bought a model) Take it home. Glue all the pieces, paint and decals. I would hang them from my bedroom ceiling as if they were flying. Was in Vegas last week, decided to check out the container park. They have a toy store there. just killing time. Browsing and noticed a metal earth 3d laser cut model display. I was very intrigued. I bought one of the most complicated, Himeji Castle http://www.amazon.com/Fascinations-Metal-Earth-Laser-Model/dp/B00D0XPVYY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1438444367&sr=8-1&keywords=metal+earth+himeji+castle Having fun putting it together. tweezes and a magnifying glass are a must. No glue, tiny metal tabs to be folded or twisted Some metal pieces have to be bent and shaped with a curve, a little more involved then old plastic models. A lot of fun.
