Nice kit, quality cut for the all the parts, make sure you read carefully the instructions and use the wax where needed for the moving parts of the model. I am still building it and I've decided also to paint it so I'm taking extra time to make sure all the parts are working properly. So far had great fun building it.

Parts were cut well and fitted together but the cocktail sticks supplied for the kit were too small and did not enable the kit to be fixed together properly. I had to buy a separate lot of cocktail sticks to be able to assemble the kit. This may sound trivial but the kit relies heavily on cocktail sticks in its construction and did not work with the sticks provided. In other kits I have had from Ugears the sticks have been 2mm diameter and the holes have matched perfectly these were just cheap nasty irregular shaped sticks not even round in section. Shame as this has put me off buying any further kits.

This was a great project to complete, after reading some YouTube attempts at building. I have put not durable only because it is not a toy to be given to children. There could have been instructions to try to run the drive at the stage of construction before building the body which I did as was initially tight but by getting the parts to turn with just a partial tension on the drive bands was able to make sure everything was free. The car only runs about three metres in both forward and reverse and looks great so will be putting it on display as it looks really impressive and will shortly be ordering the Railway Engine as have the bug and really enjoyed the challenge.

Wanted a kit that looked good and provided something different to other plastic offerings. It over achieved this requirement easily. Parts are perfectly cut and presented with clear instruction booklet. Quality is fantastic. The challenge of assembly keeps you focused and is rewarding as you build and test a fully functioning engine and gearbox (even before you tackle the rest of the car). Displaying the finished model is a natural progression from hanging your planes from the ceiling with fishing wire when you were a kid starting out. Met all expectations and more from start to finish. No glue, no screws just lots of patience with a level of problem solving added for good measure. At the £36 I paid, it feels like an absolute bargain. Buy, build, display and smile!

It's the 4th one I've done and find them time consuming ( I'm retired ) and it keeps my fingers nimble . I find if you just take your time and study the instructions first you can get a nice model.
