Construction Features

Precision laser-cut wooden components form the chassis, body and internal mechanism.

Several panels are functional, allowing you to open the doors, bonnet and boot to reveal the internal layout and mechanism once assembled.

Build Experience

The parts slot together without glue. UGEARS rates the 370-piece kit Advanced and estimates nine hours for the build. Model Steam rates it Challenging because the spring drive and ratchet need careful assembly.

Design & Detail

The finished model showcases a sleek, retro racing profile with attention to visible mechanical elements and cockpit access. Its drifting behaviour on smooth surfaces adds a dynamic element that turns a static display piece into an interactive exhibit for a shelf or workspace.
