UGEARSUGEARS Drift Cobra Racing Car Puzzle - Wooden 3D Puzzles for Adults to Build with Powerful Spring Motor - Wood Mechanical Models Building Kit for Fathers Day - Retro Hobbies for Men - 370 Pcs

I built the Cabriolet and enjoyed the build, but wished I'd painted it. This time with this Cobra I did paint it using acrylic paint, metalic paint, and silver gilding for the chrome. I had an absolute blast figuring out how to color this car and am happy with how it turned out.But....although the gears work perfectly the car is to heavy for the spring to pull its weight. I'm disappointed in that, but overall it was so much fun to build and it will be sitting on the self anyway so it does need to run but wish it did, that would add to its coolness. I would give it 4.5 stars but still had a lot of fun thus I give it 5 stars.Update: it turned out the foil I used on the front wheels was a little binding, not allowing the wheels to turn freely. Cleaned some of it out and now she runs perfectly!

I'm weaning myself away from Legos, I admire them but price keeps rising.I decided to go for more of a challenge with wood puzzles.The first company I tried was regretfullya hugh mistake. Thin wood very prone to breaking, glue definitely a staple, poor cheap instructions, sloppy fit. I won't state what company it was but if you go with UGears you won't care.This Cobra was a challenge but in a satisfying way. There were a couple challenges to master, one being the spring to affix to the very tiny slot the the center post.All parts were laser perfect, part no.s we're next to the parts, not on them, wood was quite thick, grain was clear & uniform. Mating. of parts was perfect no forced alignment necessary.Now that this is completed, the UGears Grand Prix D-9 awaits.My tips: these are not to be meant as speed builds. Take your time and enjoy the journey. Follow the instructions meticulously, take frequent breaks and sand, polish and wax!

This looks awesome when finished. There are a few pieces that are impossible to assemble, but I built it for looks, not speed.

Lots of fun assembling. Everything required is provided. It looks like an old school AC Cobra and it runs!

Was fun to do and is an eye-catcher to everyone that walks by it.

I really enjoyed building this model!The pieces were easy to remove from the sheets.The directions were precise and easy to follow. Where detailed instructions were required for assembly they were provided.I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to have fun playing with it after your finished building it. It performs as promised.

Ordered as part of my husband’s birthday gift. When it arrived, it was open and already assembled.

My dad loved this product. He was 74 years old when he put together. Said some parts were challenging but overall he loved the experience and loves the end product. Displays it when he takes his Actual Cobra to car shows.
