As an ex mechanic and lifetime modeller I was asked by a neighbour to assemble this for his son.. Assembly is straightforward,for an experienced modeller, and the mouldings not too bad. Sadly once assembled it failed to work at all despite many attempts to get it going. It's ended up in the bin, and with a very disappointed young man.. I have subsequently bought him the Airfix version, which was very similar in concept and actually works as it should.from word go. I'm surprised at Haynes putting their name to this Chinese rubbish, and judging by comments elsewhere it seems I'm not the only one to have problems with this kit.

A very good item it shows how a engine works. It shows the spark plugs light on and the pistons going up and down. A very good item.
