🚒 UGears Fire Truck Wooden Model Review

The fit of the parts that make them up and their work is first class. I like to collect this prefix. Looks great on the truck and really works.

Great idea but the pieces aren't perfectly cut and won't fit together without sanding every single edge on each piece. The wood is also extremely delicate and we broke many pieces before giving up.

We live in Oshkosh, NE and my husband models during the winter months. This is another great model in a line of wonderful models. The material is easy to work with. They say the devil is in the details, and details are what my husband loves most about models.

The truck is on display at my house. It works great and you are great too. These models are by no means intended for children. Creating them is quite a difficult task. I built a truck shortly before but couldn't get it to work. But this time I was very satisfied. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep buying. Ed S

I bought this model for my husband. He's an engineer and he's into that sort of thing. I did not expect that the set would contain so many details)), but my husband was even more interested. I think it takes about 10 hours to assemble the model, so it needs patience and patience. Time. It's very beautiful, very high quality. All details are laser cut and precise. And certainly not for small children. It was the first Ugear model. I'm sure we will buy more.

This is the second UGear model I've built. There are a few things needed besides the typical tools, but if you're accommodating and can follow the directions, any of UGear's models seem interesting. Two things I highly recommend. First, a very small round file to slightly open up some of the toothpick holes, and second, candle wax or a similar (non-petroleum) lubricant to help the pieces fit into their slots. This will make your life easier. A rattail file would be something like a small round…

This is a labor intensive assembly that can sometimes be difficult to manage with toothpicks. You have to grind and wax almost everything you collect, at least I did. Toothpicks are a menace, let me tell you, they are very prone to breakage due to the force sometimes required to put them through multiple holes and the like. I took great pride in the assembly of the ladder and how the ladder was extended with the gear knob and then retracted with the same knob. I didn't really manage to get it…
