UGEARSWinged Sports Coupe Model Car Kit - 3D Wooden Puzzle Car –Model Kit for Adults to Build - DIY Wooden Car Model Kit with Authentic Gull-Wing Design Car Model

This is a gift for my granddaughter that enjoys building car models. She loved it, it took her about 3 evenings to put the puzzle together. Now it's a conversation piece with her friends.

easy to remove parts from the wooden sheets, and fairly clear instructions. Quality product

My 83rd - Ugears, ROKR, Woodtrick and others. This was a fun build; not especially challenging. A good project for beginners, with one main caveat: kit uses two thicknesses of wood; the thinner one includes small pieces, and pieces with narrow areas - real risk of breaking, so work slowly and carefully.This model uses the same chassis and motor drive as Ugears Rapid Mouse and Furious Mouse, and same technique: assemble chassis, motor, wheels; then assemble body, and finally join the two. Works fine. Spring drive , generally preferable to rubberbands.Looks great, especially those gull-wings. Runs very well.For those who may not remember (I do) this is a pretty good simulacrum of a 1954-55 Mercedes 300SL Coupe.

These puzzles are always a challenge but great when they are done. They all require patience. One thing that I have learned putting these puzzles together is first wax everything that has to go into a hole regardless of when they say to do it. But sanding sticks and small file kits. I find that I have to file a hole on occasion to enlarge it. Get instant glue. I just found a great glue at Home Depot called JB SuperWeld that comes out great and has a setting light on the other end of it. When you have a puzzle that has wafer looking material, make sure you wet it before trying to bend it. If you are going to do more of these puzzles keep the extra pieces. I found that I have used them on other puzzles. Also on this puzzle, there is one flaw. When it comes to the wire spring, I had to operate and actually cut a thin hole into the stem and bend the wire end to fit in the hole. Then I had to glue it. When you wind this up the spring was slipping so I turned it over and was able to get into the bottom easily to do this fixing. Now the spring does not slip, and it runs great on the floor.

It is a beautiful and well crafted piece. It was a gift for my daughter’s boyfriend me he liked it very much. He liked that it is a puzzle and once assembled it has the mechanism to roll.

I really liked this kit, I was looking for one that was not easy and not to hard. It took me a while to build but totally worth the wait.

Very fun set

I love this model but be sure to be careful with assembly small parts break very easily
