NifelizL002 Off-Road Car Building Set, Collectible Truck Model and Gift for Adults and car Lovers, Authentically Detailed Build and Display Model for Home or Office Décor (3983 PCS, NF10274)

Massive size, massive weight, massive challenge.This kit took me about five days to complete, working into the evenings — I'd estimate 40 hours or so. It is *extremely* intense, and requires total focus. This is not for kids, and even most adults will struggle. My fingertips actually got a bit numb from all the pressing and handling of the 3984 parts, which is equivalent to at least three regular kits. There's a bit of fatigue if you press on every day like I did. But it's also completely engaging – I found myself marveling at the design and complexity – totally off the charts.In the end, the complexity and size revealed the limits of plastic strength – the gears are iffy, and the final model is somewhat flexible and fragile. Parts tend to pop off, which is a real challenge if you're at an advanced stage and something comes apart – the parts are pretty inaccessible as you cover them with further parts. So I would consider this a display only kit. The final build is surprisingly heavy, which I guess is appropriate for this vehicle. I did have a few missing parts, which required some problem-solving... nothing too critical, except for one important hood piece (if you look closely at the pics, you'll see the missing hood piece). That said, I often thought a piece was missing, only to find it after looking more closely. And NifeliZ offer free parts for any that are missing – their email contact is listed right inside the front cover... don't go to their website, because there is no link for missing parts.It's modeled after the Lamborghini LM002 (possibly the "Cheetah" version), which is really a crazy vehicle to begin with – a 12-cylinder motor, a 3-ton weight, a 7.7 second 0-60 speed, a $120k price at the time (double that for a good used one today), and only 328 made. I honestly am amazed at how the designers/engineers at NifeliZ were able to design this thing... it's mind-blowing in that regard.I built this on a small desk, which wasn't ideal – if you can use a card-table or something similar, spread and organize the parts for each step – this will greatly speed up the process. I didn't have that luxury, and the constant search for parts really slowed me down (and added to the fatigue).I did find myself wishing they'd put more time into the 262-page instruction booklet, which is beautifully printed (equal in every way to Lego). The images are darkly printed, which is a problem with a mostly black model. The pages don't seem to be used well, either – lots of white space, and I wish they had used some of that space to show more details on the sub-assemblies. I also wish they would show a size reference to some parts (mainly the black body panels) like they do for the rods and frame members. There were also a few errors and omissions, which will require you to use logic and an engineering mindset to figure out.All that said, it was a truly great kit that will blow your mind (and frankly, a great bargain for what you get... roughly $3 an hour for such fun. I would gladly build this kit again – it was extremely challenging and satisfying – even with the required problem-solving. I highly recommend it if you're after a challenge.A final note: Kits like this that involve multiple body panels can be a pain, with panels popping off while handling. I found that a dab of "Aleene's Tack-It" provides just a bit of "Post-It" type adherence to help prevent this, and it is removable if desired. This is not a plug for that product – I just found it helpful and wanted to pass it along.I've numbered the pics and here's what each show:1) Parts! Some bags don't include all the parts for the building stage – you'll have to "borrow" from future bags, and go back to "leftover" parts from time to time. Not a big deal, but it adds to the mental challenge. There are 12 stages, each with about three bags.2) The dense gearing – truly remarkable, but again the complexity results in an iffy performance after the build is complete – all the friction from all the parts really adds up.3) close-up of the gearbox (which is in the rear). Massively dense.4) The motor, which is beautifully done and a joy to build. Those front shocks were a real bear to get assembled. You often have to push a rod through numerous pieces, which requires real hand strength! A tip I might offer is to wet the rods first (or use a plastic-safe lubricant like Dupont Non-stick Dry Film Lubricant (it contains no oils, which might degrade the plastic).5) A comparison of two Lego kits (the racing yacht and the Mars Rover) with two NifeliZ kits (the Land Cruiser J40 and the Lambo). What you can't tell from the pictures is the surprising weight of the Lambo.6) Close-up of the two NifeliZ kits (the Land Cruiser is another great kit).7) What become a vital tool (from the Lego yacht kit I think). My fingers were getting sore, so I started using this tool. which truly helped. You'll find yourself removing wrongly placed parts somewhat frequently, and this tool really helps. Needle nose pliers with the tips wrapped in electricians tape (or better yet, self-fusing rubber tape) were also handy, as was an Olfa box cutter to separate misplaced frame parts and other things that don't have something to poke or pull on.So to sum up, if you're considering buying this kit, I would definitely go for it. Be prepared for a mental and physical challenge though... not for the novice. Truly a unique, amazing kit! I hope you found this *massive* review helpful, and it seems that Amazon doesn't have a word-limit on reviews :)EMBARRASSING EDIT: Sooo, I started cleaning up the space around the desk, where I had some trail mix and a large bottle of Kombucha. I moved an empty bag, and saw a black object on the ground... sure enough, it was the missing hood piece! I just had to laugh at myself. So maybe a few minor parts missing, but nothing that mattered in the end. Nice going NifeliZ!Just bought their S63. And I am going to propose marriage to their customer support team. Male, female, elephant, giraffe... I don't care. All of them are extraordinary.

This was a fantastic build. A bit tricky in parts but oh what fun. This is the second large car by Nifeliz. No missing parts and the instructions are good. Looks amazing. Great value for the money

It was a difficult build but the finished model is impressive. Some of the long rods were very difficult to slide into place. So, do it correctly the first time. Suggest that you lay out all the parts for a step before you begin assembly. That way you will know that you missed doing something if a piece is left over when you thought you finished the step. Some steps show the parts as already in place making it especially easy to miss something. You will need a magnifying glass or take a picture of the step and blow it up.I had all the required parts. I did have to modify the steering wheel column mount. See photos. I had to add the bracket from my spares from other projects. Without the bracket, the steering column flops around.Also, the top of the rear doors is not finished by design. Clearly an oversight. You can see this in any picture of the model.The price is perfect. Read all the reviews. I found some of the problems that others discussed. I'm not going to repeat them.

Such a cool vehicle, but I had to call a few times to have them send me the missing pieces. Very nice CS, and it gets to me fairly quickly.

Absolutely amazing build. Superb quality. Superb engineering. Never had any set that provided a fun challenge to complete. The instructions are easy to follow, yet still make it challenging to make sure it's done right. Would give it more stars if I could!! Great product, all around 10's!!!

The media could not be loaded. I'm about a third of the way through this build and the parts are as solid and quality feel as the big L brand. This is a large build and is my second from Nifeliz. So far everything is going smoothly. There have been a few connections that are not clear in the manual but not anymore than the L brand. Really excited to get this finished to see the final product. I will update once I'm finished and if necessary adjust my rating. My expectation is that I won't based on the previous build I completed from Nifeliz (FJ) and how things are progressing so far.Updated, I've finished the build. Overall, there are a few areas that can be improved. Instructions could be a little clearer as the connection points are not always easily identified when there are more than one option. There are some parts that are not supported very well and could be improved like the doors and some of the exterior pieces. The gearing seems to work well. I would say this is an awesome build. This is hard to beat for the price and quality. It's a beast and Nifeliz is doing awesome work. I look forward to building a few other designs produced by them.

Loved it, it's my second Nifeliz build and a third is already on order.I am glad I started with the formula 1 car as my first project and to practice, because the pieces fit a bit more easily and component assembly was less complex. Was also a good intro in how the manual takes short cuts sometimes and you have to figure out what they did.This truck kit required some serious patience at times and the use of needle pliers on multiple occasions. So I'd say don't build this as your first build.The kit came with storage boxes, which is nice and definitely a must.I did not like that the manual did not say how many bags per number there are. So I spent unnecessary time looking at all bags to find the ones I needed.Also, one piece was damaged which resulted in the pistons not moving correctly, but I can live with that.The one thing I don't get about these builds: you have some really cool mechanical stuff going on, transmission, moving pistons etc, but in the end, all of it is hidden away.
