NifelizS63 Hypercar Model Building Set, 1:8 Scale Collectible Racing Car for Adults, Build and Display Race Car Model for Home or Office Décor, Gift for Motorsport Fans (3,699 PCS, NF10283)

Ok, so this one is not for the beginners! Now that I have built a few of these 1:8 scale cars from different companies it's time for more in depth critical reviews. We're going to do a pro-con-pro approach to this one.1. The price is great for this one2. There were no missing pieces3. The instructions were clear and easy to follow4. The finished product is beautifulThat's just for starters. Those were the easy ones to list off the top. It was a challenge to build, and you really need to focus and check twice and place once, and then double check. It's easy to miss a step due to the number of steps per page, but if you follow the steps by numbers you'll do fine. There are 956 individual steps condensed into 250 pages.Now some of the cons I have personally. I don't think you need to have a paddle shifter in these builds. I don't care how well you follow the directions, they never work! Just binds up the wheels so you can't get it to roll, and by the time you realize it's not going to work there's no way you're going to want to tear it apart to see what the problem is. Most of us just build these kits for fun and display. I personally could care less about the gear shifter. Another peeve is the number of connection points when putting a sub assembly together. I think there were too many of them in this kit. I know it makes for a robust framework, but there is still a thing called over kill. Sometimes it just took brute force. Very frustrating.Included in my attached photos, on step 904, I must be slow or something, what the heck were they trying to tell me? I must have turned that piece and placed 10 times and just prayed I had it right. Even slept overnight on it. Plus you really need to make sure you grab the correct number elbow piece. You can't be like I did and grabbed #5 when I should have used #4. Realized that mistake after completing step #918 and said something just doesn't look right. Tore it all down back to step #903, studied hard, and found my error as circled.Still in conclusion, it was a lot of fun building it, and I think it came out great. Funny thing about it is the acrylic display case will cost almost as much as the car. I do recommend purchasing this product, and look forward to more builds like this one from Nifeliz.

This kit can only be described as dense. Either that or I am dense. Probably a mix of both. Just lifting the box from Amazon was striking... crazy heavy.I'm at a bit of an impasse just 10% in. I'm at a step that seems crazy impossible, meaning I did something wrong or the build was not tested before release. I am never wrong, so that leaves the testing. I love this company, but for the first time in brick-building I've experienced disinterest, or maybe weariness.Okay, I was wrong... I made a very minor mistake that made it impossible to assemble two early subassemblies. Took a fresh look after putting it aside for awhile, and carefully studied the instructions. A very complex area. There are MANY in this kit... it's mostly built with small parts (hence the large part count), and most of them are black. Studying the instructions for a dense structure made of small black parts is exceedingly difficult. The dimensional sense of where things go gets lost – the illustrations begin to just look like a random, dense array of holes and studs. And that's when things get truly hairy with this kit (and there is, indeed, one step that is truly impossible – I went back, checked all steps to make sure I had things right, and was unable to do what the instructions were instructing).Gotta think there's no meaningful testing on any of these kits... Lego included. Some absurd challenges are the result, but again for me it's part of the fun.The complexity of this kit is simply far greater than any I've yet encountered from any company... it's great mental exercise, but it does sap your energy. Arrows and outlines to guide you start to become extremely hard to understand fully. I like (and need) this kind of challenge, but do understand that this is what you will face when building this kit. On a positive note, the structures all seem robust and weighty – a lot of reinforcement throughout. And I am enjoying it, but man, what a workout!

Good model

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Really good design and build quality but the shocks bottom out with the weight of the car

What a good challenge and no missing parts. Highly recommend. Worth taking a look!

This is my 7th Nifeliz car build and the improvements in all areas is noticeable. I’ve always found Nifeliz to be of good quality, but really liked the continued improvements I found with this build. The quality is second to none. The way they separated the steps into short segments with 1-2 bags each eliminated the need to sort/separate into multiple trays. With 3700 pieces this is still not for beginners, but a rewarding build for experienced builders. Some of the connections were a bit challenging, but all the more rewarding to finish. The huge instruction manual with information on the designer and nice introductory photos makes it “Man Cave” coffee table material. No missing pieces, no sore fingertips and no regrets. Huge car that looks just like the real one. I made a few modifications to the finish (different wheels, added more lights and a few decals). Definitely fits in with my collection. Nifeliz will continue to be one of my my go 2’s for quality reasonable priced kits.

Bought this as a gift to one of my counsins for a gift exchange. It was great and i saw a glee in his eye.

While yes this is not Lego, the quality is for sure there. All pieces are practically great and are not bad whatsoever. The instruction booklet is simple to read and is not to complicated. It took me about 3 day of around 3 hour sessions to finish. The gearbox did not work at first. About a month later I reassembled focusing on getting the gearbox to work. I was able to finally make it work, my tip is to make sure you put the pieces exactly or very close to how the manual says to, everything else though is smooth sailing. Anyways, this set is great and will keep you busy for sometime.
