Building kit Arc de Triomphe (Paris)- metal

The Arc de Triomphe or the Triumphal Arch is a triumphal arch and one of the most famous buildings in Paris, in the 8th arrondissement.   The structure is located on Place Charles de Gaulle, also still Place de l'Étoile, one of the busiest traffic circles in Paris, at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, where twelve avenues, or avenues, come together.   Construction began in 1806, in honor of one of Napoleon's victories at Austerlitz.   Construction was not completed until around 1836, under King Louis Philippe.   After the First World War, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, who died in that war, was built under the Arc de Triomphe.   The Arc de Triomphe has been turned into a monument in memory of the First World War.   The triumphal arch is approximately 50 m high and has a base of 45 m by 22 m.   It is the third largest triumphal arch in the world, after that of Pyongyang in North Korea and after the Monument to the Revolution in Mexico City.    Dimensions (in cm.   lxwxh): 5.6 x 2.3 x 6 The metal building kits from Kitcreatives are a real challenge for people who like a bit of fiddling.   The metal miniatures are small and so are the parts.   The aluminum construction plates where the parts have to be cut out with cutting pliers are thin, so building requires precision and patience.   Each part has a clip or slot that you use to attach the parts to each other.   The final result is beautiful.   All miniatures, including this one, have beautiful details and are an exact copy of reality.   We recommend these packages from the age of 14, but younger experienced builders should also try it!
