My 82nd of this type - Ugears,ROKR, Woodtrick and others. This was a challenging build - definitely not for beginners. The complaints: too complicated, although I neverthought I would say that - the reason I build these is the complications, the mechanicals, all the moving parts. But this one is over the top. Motor drive, sure; working pistons,seen that before. But working wipers? Really? Four windows that crank up and down? Fire extinguisher and first aid kit hidden behind rear seat (which folds down). Tool box and working jack stashed between the rear wheels.A bitof advice: those wipers and other fragile parts go on early, and are at riskas youdo later work, so be careful.But on second thought, when it's done and everything works, all that stuff is pretty satisfying. Assembly is tricky. Several parts and at least six rubberbands (not the motor drive) must be placed in nearly inaccessible spots. Can be done, but not easy. And there are rubberbands inside the rear wheels whose purpose I still haven't figured out.My general advice for these models: patience, study the directions carefully. Sand lighly where needed. And wax, lots of wax, not only for gears and other moving parts, but also to ease parts together.So, in the end, works great (motor drive and all those complications), and looks terrific. For those of you who don't remember (I do) it is a pretty good simulacrum of a 1958 Cadillac convertible. Beautiful. Five stars.

Maqueta con mucho detalle. Muy entretenido para montar. Un regalo perfecto.

Easily the best purchase I have made. Was a great break from the mundane life, great family bonding activitiy and a great showpiece to show off proudly.

This is my 10th UGear model, and the best yet. The design and thought put into this model are excellent. For some reason the quality of the kit was far superior to previous ones. The parts came away from the sheet easily, with no splinters. Parts fitted better. No white white knuckles. Comfortable push fit, but tight enough to do the job. The drive design using T-Bars as suppossed to slotted discs was far easier to assemble. It ran ok, blink and you would miss it. But this for the display cabinet in my man cave, not for my 5 year old grandson to trash. Thoroughly recommend.George in Scotland.
