How many hours does it take to complete the model (not including painting)?

Thanks for the question. It is assembled while painting. With people who are accustomed, it is around the 10th. Please refer to it.

It depends on the tools you have other than what's in the boxes. I'd say assembly time is around 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours.

Pick a color and just start painting for maybe an hour or so. You'll need to make sure you have small brushes and a way to mix the colors. Then just set aside a specific time each day to pain. I know for myself, I can only take about 2-3 hours at a time. Take pictures every so often and at the end you can see some pretty cool progress. It takes maybe 10-15 hours of painting to finish probably. Spread out over time, maybe a week or two.

I don't recommend that. Because the model is very beautiful and detailed, and you need to get the feel about how to organize the pieces, what to paint first, how to handle the crystal clear parts, when to paint and glue, and how to get the finishing an final assembly of the whole set. You can try first with a smaller model, with detailed painting, decals and clear parts, so you can acquire those skills and then go for the B52. Takes a lot of patience and well on my first model I glued the pieces before paint them and it was a huge mistake, just an example on my own experience. Good luck friend! I don't recommend that.

It's been awhile since I put mine together, but I would guess 30-40 minutes. I don't think the worded instructions were very comprehensive but the pictures were very helpful in assembly.

Hi Ashley, should not take more than a couple of hours. The instructions are average in terms of clarity. Lay your pieces out ahead of time and it will go smoothly. All the parts arrived safely. Nothing broken or missing. Best thing to do with all assemblies is take your time.

It may take 4-5 hours if you haven't assembled furniture. The package isquite heavy also. Looks very good when done however.Ken

It took me (with a son's help) about 90 minutes. Check with your local Home Depot or Lowe's (or any other seller) to see if they still offer free assembly and delivery. In addition to assembly time, you will be left with a large box and packing material to dispose. (I used the box as an enclosure for spray painting some garden furniture.)

No, took me about 4-5 hours to assemble. It's not hard but there are a lot of parts so it is time consuming.

approximately 100 pieces..model looks good when completed,however, would not recommend as a first modeling project.could be a tedious project when building and mounting the props to wing assembly..take your time and go for it!

takes us about 30 minutes with 3 people and 45 with 2. Trick is to color code the parts once set up with some paint and it makes it easier for the next time you set up.

Dear Customer,The size is 25x40cmx2,20x50cmx2,20x60cm. And usually, we need about 5-8 days to paint by our artist and it will take 5-10 working days to reach your door.Please be well noted.Best regards,Unixtyle

My husband took about 4 hours to assemble it, including dinner and a coffee break. I'd say he's reasonably skilled, but he's very methodical. He likes to lay out all the pieces and read the directions repeatedly. If you work quickly, 2 hours seems about right.

2 min. each coat. If you have 1 base coat, 2 polish coats & 1 top coat it will take 8 min.

A couple of hours. It's figuring out the instructions that take so long. We built ours in sections then took each section to its spot then finished it. Roof last.

The game is complete, except that you may need to take out a second mortgage to buy a copy, but the plastic figures require assembly, and painting is recommended.To assemble the figures, you'd want sprue cutters, an X-Acto knife, gel superglue, good light, a magnifier, and a patient/steady hand. There are YouTube videos on this.For painting, normally I'd direct you to one of the many online guides (Google "Painting miniatures") and videos. But this game is out of print, expensive, and a classic/collector's prize. If you are not an expert painter, Id practice on something else or pay someone to have it done. This should be easy to arrange at a local game shop, where you can see the painter's other work first.

it vries on the thickness and the size of the project..my larger projects, approx. 2 to 3 inches thick, take at least 36 to 48 hours...smaller projects take 24....it's kind of trial by air..but when it is pure white with no dark and no longer cold to touch..it's pretty much dried...hope this helped...Trudi
