ugears - mechanical tanker

A cool wooden model for self-assembly from the new UGEARSTrucks Collection.  Based on UGM-11 Truck, the Mechanical Tanker model has real TANKER with the unique opening mechanism which fits well for standard 0.33 L cans. Twist the knob on the tanker’s cap and unfold it in surprising way.  This model is deliberately designed to have a raw, open look so even the casual observer could appreciate the marvels going on inside. The Mechanical Tanker is equipped with a four-cylinder rubber band engine and moves on its own forward in the “drive” mode and back on “reverse” transmission mode. Start the engine in ‘idle mode’ and look at four pistons which move realistically under the folding hood. Weight: 4 lbs Dimensions: 15 × 7 × 2 in Estimated time of assembly: 4-8 hours Number of parts: 594 Difficulty level: Intermediate Tools and materials: Made of high quality plywood; assembly requires no glue or cutting Recommended Age: 14+
