Here's what sets Metal Time apart from other brands' metal model kits:
1. Mechanical Movement – Functional Parts
Metal Time models are not just decorative — they actually move! Many sets include:
- Functional mechanical elements (gears, winding mechanisms, rotating parts)
- Spring or gear drive
- Functional clocks, vehicles or trains. Imagine gears that turn, wheels that spin, and sometimes even motorized elements.
Competitor models are static and non-functional.
2. Stainless Steel Construction – High Durability
Made of high quality stainless steel (SUS304) 0.2-0.5mm thick (competition 0.12-0.15mm):
- Corrosion resistant
- Thicker and more durable
- Available in matte, glossy finish and various color options
3. Premium packaging and presentation
Each Metal Time set includes:
- Tools (pliers, gloves, polishing cloth)
- Gift-friendly packaging
- Presentation labels, engraved serial numbers, badges, stickers, etc.
4. Official licenses and original designs
Metal Time has official licenses for:
- World of Tanks by Wargaming (historical military series and cultural icons)
- Legendary An-225 aircraft by Antonov
These kits are fully authorized — unlike fan versions.
5. Collector Focus and International Appeal
Metal Time models are designed for enthusiasts, collectors and STEAM enthusiasts:
- Takes 5 to 20+ hours to build, challenging for serious modelers
- Popular with adult modelers and engineers
- Limited editions and engraving for collector value
6. Assembly Instructions
Metal Time offers detailed instructions, sometimes with QR codes to access 3D guides or videos.
The emphasis is on a workshop-like building experience.
Metal Time represents lasting value. Metal Time products are priced slightly higher due to their unique benefits, but for the higher price, they provide adequate value.
