ROKR 3D Wooden Puzzle for Adults Mechanical Car Model-DIY Building Vehicle Kits-Brain Teaser Toys-Gift for Men Women on Birthday/Christmas Day (Army Field Car)

A product review here on Amazon convinced me to buy this. Someone had reviewed one of the group listings that included the Jeep, and the review stated that he liked the Jeep the best. He included a picture that had like five of these Jeeps assembled. I figured if someone liked it that much, it was worth a purchase. Literally, the only complaint I have is that a lot of glue was required. And I do mean a lot. My advice for anyone assembling one of these kits for the first time is to make sure you have wood glue on hand. Oh, and don't start with this kit. It was rated 4/5 on the difficulty scale. There were quite a few pieces that were difficult to line up, and there aren't very many good places to anchor your hands when you get further along in assembly. I stained the kit, and it took me about a week to complete it. The product listing says about 4-5 hours for assembly time. Without staining, I still would have had to wait for the glue to dry. I don't think I get this one done in a day. So it was a good value at about $25. I might end up purchasing this one again down the road.

The instructions are well thought out. The manufacturer says "no glue required". But glue is helpful. Some of the pieces are very small and a little difficult to attach for someone with larger fingers, so gluing is helpful. Just don't get ahead of the directions. Some parts should not be glued. Super glue is the quickest. A fun project.

Be aware this kit is made with extremely thin plywood as compared with other builds. Locking pins delaminate easily and the instructions are not terribly clear with enlargements on critical spots. Also, many do not have the “scan” option to be able to watch an assembly. Other than those faults, a fun build.

It was a gift for 16 y.o. boy. He liked it.

Very cool model. Finished product has working suspension, tires and steering wheel that spin. Looks great. Some steps were a little difficult as some parts were borderline jig-locked to get into place, so I had to use the superglue crutch a few times to repair broken tabs. I recommend cutting out the pieces from the sheets with a razor first to avoid splitting and splintering.

Some of the pieces are EXTREMELY fragile and break very easily. These flexible pieces broke well before i could place them, other pieces broke just pulling them from the parts sheets. I love the level of intricacy and the difficulty level is fine, but i think that they need to refine the design to make the pieces less fragile. Also, this is NOT an authentic Willy’s Jeep model. Willy’s Jeeps in WWII did not look like this, and the most inaccurate piece is the AK-47. Not only did our boys NOT carry AK-47s in the war, the AK is a RUSSIAN weapon that was not designed until late 1947 & produced starting in 1948. I REALLY wanted to like this model, but the the inaccuracies & fragility if the pieces really reduced the appeal, & I ended up throwing it in the trash half finished. If they redesign it, fix the inaccuracies and strengthen the design of the individual pieces, i might try this again. But I recommend staying away from this particular design.

Pieces are very small, and easy to break, Very time consuming, Instructions are very difficult to read. YOU Will Need Super glue to fix broken pieces and hold pieces together. Recommended sequence leaves a lot to be desired. Makes a cute jeep, if you have a LOT of time and patience.

My son absolutely loves this.
