Review: Unbelievable level of function. Highly enjoyable and satisfying kit. - Do not pass this one up due to the price! It is a good value for what it provides. The quality of a U-Gears kit is better than most other brand kits I have experienced. Not a single piece broke during assembly. But there are plenty spares included. The 108 page instruction manual provides clear photographic details of assembly with available videos of critical and/or complicated steps. I enjoyed every hour of this build. The details are too numerous for this review, but when wound up and started, not only the wheels turn, but the engine pistons all function, and even the radiator fans turn. The instructions call for several timely tests of each function as you complete steps of assembly. They have even provided solutions for common issues found during a test. This is definitely not for beginners.
Review: Fun Build. Not for beginners. - Difficult Build. Beautiful end result. My main complaint is when a part needs to be a mirror image of a previously built part, the instructions just give you a range of part #'s instead of step by step instructions. I'm somewhat dyslexic when it comes to diagrams, so this caused me some problems. After tearing it apart a couple of times, I finally got it right. Also, the tabs on the seat cushions were much too large for the holes they needed to go into. After a little sanding, shaving, and waxing, I got them together. All in all, it was a good project. Not recommended for beginners.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I was going to paint this, what kind of paint should I get?**
A: I didn't painted. But I asked and they suggested me to prime and then acrylic paint

**Q: Can I use homemade wood putty to smooth the body out and make this a more streamlined model?**
A: Wood putty may be good for unseen areas it sands easy but not always a good look. I use a plastic putty by Vallejo. It's water base and easy to manipulate.

**Q: How difficult would this be for an adult beginner?**
A: Adult beginner, OK. (Would not recommend for a child). Keep in mind: patience, take your time removing pieces,  joining parts, check assemblies - especially mechanicals. Sand where needed ("burrs" where pieces were attached to sheet). Wax liberally, not only moving parts, but to help ease parts together.
Good luck and enjoy!

**Q: any help on how to put on metal spring?**
A: It's a bit tricky, I had to use a pair of tweezers for help. I use them to increase the opening of A1 in order to slide in the middle hook of the spring. Once that's done and you're tightening the spring be careful. Hold it to keep it from unraveling. I used the tweezers to guide the spring hook to it's final resting place. Hope I was helpful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most fun model
*by D***E on February 25, 2022*

This was the most fun model I've ever put together, including Metal Earth. There are so many movable Parts on it, so it's a challenge but at the same time the directions are so well done that when you see an error it's your fault because the instructions show exactly what to do in full color. It runs good but my shifter is loose so I have to make sure that the gears are engaged correctly in order for it to run. The windshield wipers are really cool, they are fragile so you have to be careful while you are assembling the car. All the features work very good and it's very fun to show. Very complicated so patience is needed. I did sand off all burrs, and it's a good idea to wax all moving parts and where they touch a flat surface. The waxing they say to do but it's up to up to figure the best way to do it. I used the wax stick that comes with it for the flat surface and a toothpick and lit tea candle for the gears. Rather like painting the melted wax on. In the picture I show some of the things I needed. The wood glue is for one time I broke the tool they give you (which is essential) and another time one of the parts broke a little bit when I took it out. But those were both my fault. Otherwise no glue is needed but good to have on hand. I started using a razor blade to help break the wood free on the delicate parts. They do give some extra part including both whipers. Overall I would love to put this model together again using some wood stain in colors just to see how it would look with some red or turquoise. This, in my opinion is truly an exceptionally fun model to assemble and show.
