Franzis 67500 Ford Mustang V8 Model Engine Kit, 327 x 146 x 447 millimeters, All components included

I assembled the engine but got a spark on only one plug, and the engine didn't turn. So I disassembled to the point of retrimming all the pushrods (44) and checking they moved freely, and ensuring all the sprockets at the front of the engine engaged properly... and lo! and behold! the engine turns, lights up and makes noises just as it should. Edd, Ant and Mark (Elvis) taught me well!

I ordered this Monday evening, it arrived Tuesday morning. Well packaged with excellent instructions although a glossy brochure about the genesis and development of the engine was of little interest to me. Although the components are plastic they are beautifully engineered and fit together perfectly. My only criticism really is that the tolerances in-built in the model are too wide leading to a degree of rattling. Fairly expensive for what it is but that is a reflection of the excellent engineering and instructions.

The media could not be loaded.

Follow the instructions correctly and you will have a fine example of this engine.

The media could not be loaded. I don't know for what reason, but the crankshaft and pistons do not move smoothly as written in the instructions. Because of this, the fully assembled engine does not run. It just makes noises.Low quality product. The whole left side of the motor is not neatly made. In some places the holes for the screws do not match, in some places they are different lengths

Just what he wanted

My 15 year old got this as a gift. 5 hours to build. One part didn’t have a hole in it for the crank shaft so we had to cut it out with the Stanley blade. Apart from that it kept him busy for hours and he is very pleased. The instructions were easy to follow and only needed a Stanley knife and snips.

How disappointing. After spending a day with my son building this it didn’t work. Engine turned over but no sound or spark plug lights. I wish I could describe to look of sadness and disappointment on my sons face after his efforts.

This was a fun little project. Instructions/reviews say it is about a 3-hour project. But I recommend that you take your time and enjoy it.The instructions are very accurate. If you follow them, you will be successful. (I do recommend that you be careful about tightening things like the parts for the fan around the water pump. If it's too tight, it won't rotate the fan during operation.) All parts were present. I saw one review that said there was a missing part. If you don't look carefully, you may think that. A screwdriver with a magnetized head was provided- that was fabulous. I also used wire cutters and a utility knife. Towards the end of the project, I pulled out the ol' nail clippers- should have done that sooner as it would have made trimming easier. Be sure to trim off all the rough edges where it detaches so that you have a smooth operation at the end.It's pretty cute when it runs. The parts move and the sound of the engine is clear, unmuffled. (One review said the sound wasn't very good- can't agree with that.)It was packaged well and arrived relatively quickly. The manufacturer's packaging was very sturdy also.I'm very glad to have made this purchase. It was both fun and educational.

Dommage qu'il ne soit pas en français.
