IS THIS TOO DETAILED FOR A 12 YR. OLD?

I would think that they could do it. there is a lot of detail on the inside that he dose not have to do. it really depends on his skill level and the amount you would want to participate

I did it last year and I was thirteen. I think I did well with it, and did not think it was too hard. It helped to have built a few models before, so if your twelve year old has built a few models he should do fine. I would not recommend it if this is his first model.

Depends on the 12 yr. old. This requires meticulous work, and patience. It is a project that is not accomplished in a short time. I worked on mine for about 30 hrs. I am 73 yrs. old, and models are a hobby. Results are beautiful.

According to the Revell website, this model is a "Skill Level 2 - Moderately challenging; glue and paint required. For ages 10+."

not in my opinion, no. My 12 year old asked for it and enjoyed building it. He really loves mine craft.

It is a very heavy crossbow and can be difficult to string and cock. If you are confident that your 12-year old can constantly hold a 15lb crossbow and load a 90lb draw (with the rope cocker), then it might be nice for him. Be safe.

They are tools. This is not too advanced for a seven year old, unless you expect him to know how to use these already. It's a great kit to help him LEARN advanced techniques. If he already has a passion for drawing and sketching and you feel its something he will continue on with, I think this would make a GREAT starter kit!

This is indeed remote controlled. Whether or not it is appropriate for a 12 year old depends entirely on the 12 year old. If they have any experience with a remote controlled helicopter before, then this would be a fine gift for them. If they have no such experience but enjoy the challenge of mastering a new skill and have a great deal of patience then this may also be a good gift. If they have no RC experience and don't handle crashes well, I would suggest a coaxial 3-channel helicopter instead. They are much easier to fly, though this will be more rewarding if and when it is mastered.

Depends on the size of the 12 year old. If it's a boy with man sized hands, a full-size tool set might be better. However for every other 12 year old, I would say definitely yes!

I think it is challenging enough for a 12 year old, a bit hard for a four year old but would still really enjoy it with some help. My 9 1/2 year old loves it.A 12 year old would probably tolerate it, it is geared toward kids about 6-10 I think. But it would challenge her since you have to memorize several things at once. I would definitely depend on the child. My 7 and 9 years olds like games Citizens of Catan, Monopoly, and easy ones like yatzee, and uno. I enjoy it as an adult, its fun

It looks like a toy. It works but it is not very detailed or very big. It just depends how detailed you want to be.

It was great for my 12 year old son but I could use it too in a pinch. It's rather light for an adult in my opinion but if you're still learning it would suffice.

A six year old should be fine with this overall. There may be a few pieces that require more dexterity however the majority of the pieces should be just fine for someone age 6. Many hours of creative fun!

no, it should be good. I had my 8 and 6 yr old do it and my 4yr old neded help with it. It should not be too easy or boring for 8yr old.

I bought that for my grand daughter who was 9 at the time. I think it might have been too advanced for her and her parents have put it away. I honestly can't remember too much about what was involved except I thought it was very cleverly done. If I remember correctly, it didn't cost much - probably a good stocking filler. Sorry I can't be more help.

it depends really on how capable she is. Some at that age are more "hands on" than others. If she's "into" arts and crafts and such, she'll be fine with it (you might have to help with the pinning if necessary) its really a lovely gift, surprised me with the quality of the contents. Even inspired me to try to find an actual beginner sewing machine for my then 10-yr old grand.

i would have to agree that it it probably for a child aged 8 or above who is mechanically inclined. lots of small parts. need patience and the ability to work with mechanical objects. my 12 year old got it last year (?) and now has already out grown it.....but he is very "engineer minded". he creates new and wonderful things with these pieces, his lego technics and his k-nex.

I would say too complicated. It took my 11 year old awhile to get the hang of it.

The larger 750 kit definitely would be appropriate for a 12 yr old. I don't know what the recommeded ages say on the box, but I bought the 100 set 1st for a 5 1/2 and 7 yr old and quickly got the next size up 300 ! The 750 would make a great first present !

I don't think it's too easy. It won't be difficult, but will keep an 8 yr. Old busy. There are creattive activities, i think an 8 yr. Old would like.
