Nifeliz Tiger Heavy Tank, WW2 Armed Tank Building Set, Military Construction Model Toy for Teen Gift Giving (1776 Pieces)

The model is great once assembled!, the pieces fit nicely (although some resist to cooperate with you), and given the amount of pieces and size, the price is a steal.But it has its problems: The instructions! they are terrible at some parts, specially the turret, the turret is the most tedious and frustrating part, and the illustrations on. the booklet do not help much, for instance, I had to use a 2x6 tile and it had to have a hole in the middle , which was very hard to see on the illustrations, I realized that once I had the turret assembled and wanted to install it on the tank and the rod could not go through because it had no hole, fortunately I could remove that piece and the integrity nor functionality of the turret was not affected at all.

This is my second Nifeliz kit and I can't wait to buy a third. The quality of the models and packaging are exceptional. Instructions are fairly easy to follow and the parts bags are clearly marked. Recommended age is 16+ so don't mistake these kits for a childs toy. They require a lot of time, patience and attention to detail but the end result is an adult level permanent display piece.On this particular kit the first few pages of the instruction manual were missing but this problem was resolved overnight by email with no problem whatsoever. I have not run across a missing piece yet but I'm sure that issue would be fixed quickly and professionally if it should arise.

Fairly well made though a couple of sections are a bit weak on it, the front two pieces that have the 'tie downs' for transport are very loose since they are only held up vertically and the panel at the front hood is well too because they used a Technic piece for some reason, but easily addressed if you have some spare 1x5 1/3 strips.

Was great fun, good looking end result, EXCELLENT details! I hate to only give four stars...but there are some parts that just don't like to stay connected. That makes it a little fragile to handle, but it's minor stuff - the tank isn't going to break in two. I bought a different tank kit from them but have yet to build it, so obviously the issues I had were not a big deal for me.

My son loved this. He was very excited to build it.

I will admit… I had some trepidation going into this build. It wasn’t a Lego kit, so I didn’t know how the quality would compare. Almost immediately, I realized this was going to be a fun build. The pieces are well organized, the instructions are easy to read, and the finished model is very impressive. There are a couple of tricky steps along the way, but this should be easy to navigate for any builder with at least intermediate experience. Definitely recommend!

Biggest problem is the bricks aren't consistent. Some are really tight and hard to snap together while others are loose and can barely hold their own weight when you pick it up to start the next step, nevermind once it's finished and you want to move it to the shelf for display. The fact that they offer this kit with electronics and motors is a joke - if you actually tried to drive it, even on a smooth floor indoors, it would start falling apart in about 3 seconds... If the torque of the motors didn't simply break things apart the instant you apply power.Also, the instructions are a little odd in places, hard to figure out where some parts line up. Also hard to tell which color they mean when it shows what parts you need for each step. Light gray is drawn as almost black, but the army green looks gray, and white looks gray too. At least black is actually black. Some bricks were either provided in the wrong color or were used earlier in the build because of the ambiguous colors in the book.If you have a lot of patience, are very gentle, and do not intend to use this with motors (unless you glue everything together), then this might work for you.But if you're an average person/kid, I suggest you get a different brand. Try Cobi instead - they have a lot of historically accurate kits and we've had great results with them, and none of the problems this kit has. That's what we'll be getting to replace this one.

As always, Nifeliz knocked it out of the park with this Tiger 1 tank kit, the interior details are amazing and their attention to detail really pays off. I would 100% recommend this kit to any and all world war 2 tank enthusiast's.
