Metal Earth Western Star 5700 Optimus Prime Kit

This officially licensed model kit recreates the 2017 movie truck with 97 precision-etched steel parts. It is designed for adult hobbyists and collectors who enjoy moderate-difficulty assembly projects. The finished piece measures approximately 5.92 inches long, 1.86 inches wide and 2.68 inches high. No glue or paint is required for completion.

Sustained Assembly Experience

The moderate difficulty rating means the build demands steady focus over several sessions rather than a quick single sitting. Builders work with small, interlocking tabs that must be bent and folded repeatedly without snapping. Patience and fine motor control determine the final fit more than raw speed. Tweezers or similar tools are strongly recommended to handle the smallest components.

Pre-Order Setup Check

Verify you have a clean, well-lit workspace and a pair of precision tweezers before opening the box. The kit contains no adhesive or colour, so no extra consumables are needed. Confirm the unopened packaging is intact to ensure all 97 parts are present. This model has no moving openings, so it is intended for static display only.
