Melbourne W-class Tram Model Kit
This Metal Earth steel model kit reproduces the Melbourne W-class tram in green and gold livery. It contains 90 parts and is rated at a moderate difficulty level for adult hobbyists. The kit is officially licensed and ships in a brand new box. No glue or paint is required for assembly.
For collectors and hobby enthusiasts
The moderate difficulty suits builders who have some experience with fine metal parts and are comfortable using tweezers or similar tools. It is not aimed at younger children or anyone seeking a quick snap-together project. Buyers who want a model with opening doors or interior detail should look elsewhere, as this kit has no openings.
90-part steel kit with compact footprint
When assembled the tram measures approximately 4.75 inches long, 0.8 inches wide and 1.3 inches high, making it a compact display piece. The 90 parts provide a detailed exterior that reflects the tram's cultural icon status, with 752 original trams built between 1923 and 1956. The small scale limits the level of interior or mechanical detail that can be represented.
