how long does it take to build

Overall, maybe several weeks working every other day.... 20-24 hrs total time. I worked evenings on the kit to relax, so there was no hurry. This is not a quick-build model and the overall satisfaction in a nicely finished historical aircraft should be the result. The parts cutting/sanding was very easy with the laser cut balsa. Longest times were spent on covering and stringing all the (thread) wires. Only one good chance to get it right, so I took my time. Painting and staining the wood will considerably extend the build time. Take your time and enjoy it!

Take your time, don't try to do it in one or two sittings. I spent two enjoyable weeks of spare time building it and hanging it to free float from our ceiling. It is not a matter of time, it is the feeling of success when you are finished. bob

This is a Static Scale model kit ... some will finish it in a few days ... others will use it as a starting point to add fine details form history books Patent Office files ... to create an INVALUABLE historical artifact. I just built it for my grandchildren in less thn a week of part time effort.

Our experience was about 50 hours; I saw one reviewer said it took them 100 hours. The instruction booklet states 30 hours.

There is a detailed instruction manual included. We actually purchased 10 of these desks. It took three men two days to build all ten, so it does take a while to do it. I would estimate that it took them 3-4 hours for the first desk. the others were faster since they already knew how to do it.

Yes. It's to that scale. It's really cool. And my 10 year old plays with it all the time. Just allow yourself about 3 hours to build it

Three to four hours. It's really figuring out the instructions that are a pain. Once we got it all laid out, it wasn't too bad.

Yes. They said one hour, but it took me about 2. Still not bad, plus I built in on a slightly sloping dirt hill, still went together just fine!

No. You have to put it together. But it's pretty easy to do and should only take 15 or 20 minutes. (And it's worth it.)

I would say anywhere from 30 to 45 min!! This is just an estimate and not a fact.

Hi Hilary - My hubby built it in not much time at all. It was missing a piece and that stopped us from using it for a day but then we worked it out and it's complete now. If you find yourself handy it's probably no worse than IKEA stuff.

A little. Need to put chair on to the stem and put the wheels on the base. 10 minutes.

These take a couple of minutes to build each day. If you are looking for something that will take hours and hours, or something challenging, then this isn't the set to buy. This is more about opening something everyday and getting some neat figurines.

It took about 30 minutes. Not complicate,but there are lots of screws and bolts.Good luck!

We build the foundation first and MAKE SURE IT IS LEVEL! It took 3 days to build the entire unit. 1 day for the foundation and we screwed in the frame into rock after it was level! Good luck!

Not overly difficult. An extra pair of hands with the heavy work is helpful. One to two hours depending on your having everything ready to go and familiarizing yourself with all the parts before starting.

each day's small set takes between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the age and ability of the person building. The only instructions for each little set is on the inside of the door. Still lots of fun even if they are micro sets.

Ye.... no not at all took maybe 35 minutes to put together, timed it because i wanted to see how long it would take for the whole set, only 1.5 hours total

If I remember correctly, it took about 4 hours. It is huge. Be patient, your daughter(s) will love it.
