5.0 out of 5 stars working model of a V8 engine
A good model when built showing all the working parts of the engine. However when building pay particular attention to the diagrams as the placing of some parts are not mentioned in the text. Overall a very good model, enjoyable to build and worth the price,
5.0 out of 5 stars Kept him busy for hours
Soon loved doing this after being given it as a gift. He found it easy to do. He loves models of things and being creative. Good value
4.0 out of 5 stars Satisfactory
For the cost, it’s ok. It is not an easy build for novices.Im 78 and worked as a mechanic from age 14 through to 66. I have worked on the real thing many times. The kit is what it say, just a toy not even educational. For a start it should have just 1 distributor, no matter how hard I try I cannot get the two distributors to work in the correct timing sequence, but all ‘Spark Plugs’ light up ant to the untrained eye light up in order. The only reason I needed the assembly instructions was due to the moulding of parts. However if you follow the instructions, clean up moulding tags etc and take your time, all parts fit correctly and the basic operation works well. Yes the timing gear was dodgy but all held in place once the timing cover was fitted. A big problem was the poorly made ‘Camshafts’, one was machined pretty well but the second was very hit and miss. With patients and my mechanical knowledge I was able to fit all parts together.Overall I was pleased with the finished item, it resembles a V8.Do not listen to the sounds, just a noise and nothing like an engine at idle, or even being revved up, shocking noise so just be aware.Would I buy it again ? After some deliberation, Yes.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great kit at this price. Not worth more though.
This is a pretty cool kit. Some of the parts have a lot of moulding flash so some work with a craft knife, file, sandpaper etc will be necessary if you want this to fit together as well as it can and look as good as possible.I built it with my car mad 15 year old daughter and it does show the basic mechanics of a V8 very well. I'm not convinced many 10 year olds could manage this unaided. The very many screws are tiny but thankfully all the same and there are plenty of spares.It has two distributors, one for each bank, driven off the cam shafts which is not usually how a real set up is and these are, again a little bit fiddly to install. You need to read the instructions! Nevertheless it all worked first time. We used some tiny zip ties to tidy up the ignition leads and hold them away from the exhaust manifolds.On the whole, really pleased. It looks great put together.

1.0 out of 5 stars Parts missing
Absolutely shocking, parts missing & in touch with the makers but unfortunately they are not being responsive!I have explained quite clearly what parts are missing but they don’t seem to understand what a spring is & keep sending me different parts (nothing like springs). I have even sent pictures of a spring to show what I need but they still send the wrong item.Absolutely discussed with this product & because I sent it to another country I’m unable to return the kit!I do not recommend anyone buying this item as you cannot get help if things are missing!!!
3.0 out of 5 stars Kit seems good supplier poor
My 14 year old son has enjoyed constructing the jet engine kit (5-stars) but there was a missing part (1-star, but these thing happen). The supplier had told us they are too busy to supply missing parts (1-star, very poor service)
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice kit
Kept my husband quiet for a while
Just ok
My son says that some parts were missing when he opened the package, which made it difficult to assemble. He also didn't like the instructions, but that's more a matter of personal preference.
Felice dell’acquisto👍
Utilissimo per capire il principio di funzionamento del motore. Divertente e facile da assemblare
Received as described.
Requires some good hand skills to avoid breaking the parts. All parts are plastic and delicate which can be damaged if over tightened. I have assembled it with my 10 years old who enjoyed too much.Overall it is good staff with fair price.I would advise the supplier to provide some spare parts with the kit. Loosing one small item would seaze the entire project.
Fantástico
Entretenido, calidad de las piezas notable… mi hijo ha disfrutado mucho montándolo.
