Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This 1:4 Scale Visible V-8 Engine Plastic Assembly Kit from Revell is the winner of the 2008 Parents Choice Award and Silver Honor - 1995 Doing and Learning Toys. 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, each of the parts move, just like the real thing. The Visible V8 Engine features moving pistons and connecting rods. A hand crank operates the pistons, camshaft rocker arms and valves. The kit includes a rubber fan belt and vinyl ignition wires. A superb educational tool on the inner workings and construction of a V-8 engine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep your child busy, December 15, 2000

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Revell Big Scale V8 is difficult but a lot of fun and a good learning project, February 15, 2008

By	Smitty - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

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.

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.
