Building kit Empire State Building- metal

The Empire State Building is a 381 meter high skyscraper in New York.   In 2016, it was the city's third tallest building and ranked fifth tallest in the United States.   The name of the building, which stands at the intersection of West 34th Street and Fifth Avenue, comes from the nickname of New York State: The Empire State.   The building was the tallest in the world from 1931 until the construction of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in 1971.   After the destruction of the World Trade Center as a result of the attacks on September 11, 2001, the Empire State Building was again the tallest building in New York.   This remained the case until April 30, 2012, when the One World Trade Center, still under construction, took over this position.   The designation of "tallest building in the world" has already fallen several times to another record breaker, with the current leader being the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.    Dimensions (l x w x h, in cm.):3.2x3x10 Scale: 1:4200 Metal type: aluminum Age indication: From 14 years 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!
