Mostar Bridge Model Kit

The Mostar Bridge Model Kit offers a challenging and detailed project for experienced model builders. The finished model has an impressive size of 8.46" width x 27.17" length x 13.98" high, making it a standout piece for display. One of the main highlights of this model kit is the intricate tile work, which has been mostly done except for a few more shingles. The attention to detail requires precision and patience, and the result is a stunning replica of the iconic bridge. However, it should be noted that handling the very small tiles can be tricky, and it is recommended to use small tweezers for better control. While the cardboard support columns included in the kit are functional, some customers have found them to be unstable and have opted to use small PVC pipes instead. This modification provides a more stable base for the model. The directions provided in the kit are partly in English, but customers have noted that they are sparse and may not cover all the necessary steps. It is advised to plan ahead and be prepared to make some independent decisions during the building process. Additionally, the diagrams and directions are not of the highest quality, which is a recurring issue with this company's models. Customers have also mentioned that the door archways can be challenging to assemble. Some have filed down their own bricks, but it is worth noting that there may be a special bag of preformed tiles available for these sections. However, the preformed tiles may not provide the exact look desired. The bricks included in the kit are mostly the same size, but there are some smaller and larger ones. It is recommended to save these bricks as they can be useful for adding variation to corners and ends of walls. The kit comes with a tube of glue, but customers have found that they need to purchase additional glue. Weld Bond 2oz tube with a perfectly sized nozzle has been recommended by users. Overall, the Mostar Bridge Model Kit offers an engaging and rewarding building experience for those with the necessary skills and patience. The finished model is impressive, but the kit does require some modifications and independent planning to achieve the desired results.
