Arcynix Sci-Fi Dragonfly 3D Metal Model Kit builds into a mechanical dragonfly on a display stand, with electroplated wings that shift between greens, pinks and purples as the light changes.

Why it is listed here

Its electroplated wings change color with the light, which sets it apart from plain-finish metal insect kits. The wings lock at different angles, so the pose can be changed after the build. Tools, spare parts and a stand are all in the box, and the published 2 hours makes it a short project for a metal kit.

What the build involves

Work on a tray so the 156 small metal parts stay together, and use the included tools rather than your fingers on fine joints. Handle the electroplated wings by their edges to keep the finish clean. Set the wing angles last, once the dragonfly is on its stand.
