Review: Difficult to make. - Dream cabriolet. Not good as a first or even second model. Some parts are very delicate and need great care not to break when removing from panel and installing. A single edge razor blade is needed to remove many parts without damage. Cutting parts free needs to be done from both sides and it seems best to press the part through from the front to avoid splitting the plywood. Measuring and adjusting the length of of the small rubber bands is tricky, as is fitting them. Every thing works if installed correctly and lubricated. The drawings are tiny and I needed to use a magnifying glass to see some of them. A pdf format version is available on the u-gears website. The only problem I have is that the door hinges do not seem to work very well, and having removed and refitted several times they do not work very well once the body side panels are installed. Take care and time and it is a very satisfying model to make. It does require strong fingers to fit some parts, It would have been nice to have a removable roof and moulded front and rear wind screens.
Review: Best Yet - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: String is required in multiple places within the instructions. This question is for those that have built this car. What size string was used?**
A: I've built two of this model--one for a friend--and never needed string.

**Q: What rubber bands are used**
A: There are an assortment of rubber bands sizes that come with the kit.  The instructions tell you what sizes to use and how to shrink them down to a very specific length. The rubber bands that drive the engine and make the car move are much wider than the others around  8 to 10 millimeters in width and look very heavy duty.

**Q: does anyone know what type of  car this is",  or is close too?**
A: I do not believe this car is suppose to be any specific Cabriolet (which is French for convertible).  it is very complex and took me 60 to 70 hours to put together.  It was very fulfilling to complete it with all of the moving and working parts -  especially the fact that it runs.  This kit is not for children.  Instruction details must be followed exactly.

**Q: Would like to buy just the tanker is it available.**
A: Your question is a bit vague, does the tanker stand alone or must it be purchased in tandem with something else? Perhaps if that is the case, look for the "tanker" to be offered individually by typing it into the Amazon search box and checking for its availability.
