Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer
What better way to see how an internal combustion engine works than to be able to see all of the parts move! As you turn the crank at your own speed, each of the parts move.

Customer Reviews

Revell Big Scale V8 is difficult but a lot of fun and a good learning project
Good product, a little more time consuming than previously thought. Need to get epoxy cement instead of regular model cement. A lot of fun though and a really good learning experience. A great way to learn how engines work.

Revell engine
It was too hard for my son (9) to do it himself. But it was a great father-son project.

Buyer beware.
I imagined that this would be a good father/son project. However, I had to build most of it alone. If you appreciate precision fit, you won't find it in this kit. Epoxy is not fun to work with. Cementing little metal nuts to plastic and then finding later that the holes don't line up can be extremely frustrating. Eventually, I got it together. It works, looks impressive, etc. However,this is not the ideal project to create a bonding experience between father and son...unless you have some M-80's, lighter fluid, or a sledge hammer.
