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. |

This was purchased for my 12 year old nephew. He is very excited about it, but we did not realize that many tools, glue and other items were necessary for him to actually build it. Perhaps that information should have been more evident. |

Keep your child busy |
|
Looking for a model that will keep your child busy yet educated then this is the one. I had one of these many years ago and now I am buying one for my son. This will teach your child how the basic principles of a engine work, because when your all done putting it togethor you can actually turn it and see all the moving pieces that a engine actually does. |
