a must buy, even as adults! (myself and 65 year old dad!)
Highly recommended. Not being familiar with model making, I was concerned that the age rating would just make this boat fairly simplistic and we'd put it together in an afternoon. Oh how I was wrong! I originally bought this in October 2021 for my dads birthday for us to spend some time together. First thoughts was "Wow" when I picked the box up to wrap up - this box is substantial! Whilst we haven't completed this model as yet, we very quickly realised the absolute genius of the design of these parts / high quality of the wood used. To put this into perspective, each of the parts will all come apart fairly easily if you've made a mistake, but will go back together as well as the first time. Needless to say this has happened more times than I care to remember, and none of the parts have failed us yet. Ugears have done a superb job with manufacturing all the parts, and we will definitely be purchasing another kit (once we get to the end of this one!). Would recommend this to anyone!

Looks Good
Quality item. Took time to build as quite tricky. Looked good when finished.

Looks very good!
The only reason I have given this model 4 stars is simply because it is a gift and has not been given or opened yet. This looks amazing and I hope the recipient will think so too. After Christmas and model has been started on I will update my review.

Be aware of part orientation as once it’s built it’s very hard to take apart to put right
This is a great item to build it is challenging and exciting and easy to build. If you follow the instructions correctly and be extremely aware of part orientation and position it will go together with no problems.

As an ex engineer it’s not always easy to buy him the right present, but this was complicated enough to intrigue and engage him yet with very clear instructions he was able to control the shaking in his hands in order to relatively easily put it together and it now holds centre space of attention. So I’ve bought him another one. It’s certainly not for the novice and not for anybody who feels they can ignore the instructions but it’s beautifully detailed and complicated enough to engage the enthusiast

Tricky parts
These builds require a lot of patience but look great when finished.
