Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The reward is a fine looking model that i am proud of. It is a very intense build as it has many moving parts when it is cranked over.

The engine actually turns clockwise…looking at it from the front. Turning the crank in counterclockwise direction fixes the problem. Engine rotated with electric motor. Even with the not so perfect repaired push rod, some pieces need to be ‘shifted/pu... Read More

Cons

Buyer beware. There was so much potential for the otherwise nicely made model.

The instructions are terrible, and in a few cases, actually wrong. Sometimes the only way to figure out how to correctly complete one step, is to jump ahead 3-4 steps and work backwards. The directions are sub-par at best.

Quality

Awesome product, very cool to see how a engine works

It is a very intense build as it has many moving parts when it cranked over to show the inner workings of a gasoline engine.

The mold seams must be filed smooth on any moving part - especially the camshaft.

This revell visible v8 has been around for a long time.

Shipping

Arrived on time & was gifted to grandson, he loves it!

The company kindly sent replacements within a couple weeks.

Packaging/appearance

It came in a huge box but once assembled it fit in the palm of his hand.

I haven't even opened the box yet.

Competitiveness

I later discovered that gorilla super glue works just fine for that job, and is a lot easier to deal with.
