Visible V-8 1/4
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.

Reviewed in Canada on March 6, 2025Verified PurchaseVraiment désastreux. Les instructions sont succinctes. Les pièces n’ont pas les dimensions requises, par exemple, les engrenages de l’arbre à cames ne se touchent même pas. Après 4 heures de travail, j’ai dû abandonner et tout jeter.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 26, 2014Verified PurchaseOverall I enjoyed putting the model together. Despite the box showing up in perfect condition, some of the parts were warped either due to production issues or how they were packed in the box. The camshaft had a definite bend in it that affected the ability for the pushrods to function correctly. Was able to get it back in alignment good enough to function. The oil pan was also noticeably warped.
Instructions sometimes fail to highlight very important steps that affect later function and in some cases parts fit both ways and the instructions are not specific enough to make it obvious which way is the right way (until sometime later when something else doesn't fit). I was able to modify things without too much difficulty and am happy with the end product.
If you take your time and test fit as much as possible this is an enjoyable kit to work with.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 16, 2022Verified PurchaseSomething totally different to do with a child
- Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2022Verified PurchaseSome of the larger parts were quite warped and took a lot of fitting to place properly. In some cases simply could not be quite fitted right. My husband has done his own motor jobs but still found the instructions extremely minimal and in places unclear, especially as to gluing. Consequently model does not quite work as it should. Disappointing. Otherwise an interesting and fun model to put together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein toller Bausatz zum erlernen vom technischen Wissen für Jugendliche
Verified PurchaseLeider gibt es die Anleitung nicht deutscher Sprache.
Es wäre für mich sehr wichtig diese Anleitung zu erhalten.
Vielleicht kann hier jemand mir helfen.
Ich würde mich über eine Information über 鶹 sehr freuen.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice kit, but a couple of parts missing.
Verified PurchaseI really enjoyed making the kit but found the descriptions a little confusing sometimes and 2 items were missing, which made it more difficult to construct, especially when one of the missing parts was one of the valve springs. I eventually found a spring from a pen that I could cut and make fit, but the tension on the spring was a lot stronger than the others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Realistico ed interessante
Verified PurchaseUn bellissimo modello, istruttivo, realistico ed interessante. Il montaggio non è eccessivamente difficile, soprattutto tenendo conto che l'articolo si rivolge agli appassionati di meccanica in genere. Il comando della distribuzione è ad ingranaggi, con la relativa fasatura, e quindi non vi è alcuna cinghia dentata; quasi sempre quest'ultima si indurisce e si spezza, rendendo meno realistico il funzionamento; è dunque un modello durevole e affidabile. Il progetto, i materiali, la realizzazione, giustificherebbero un costo maggiore, l'azienda poi è tedesca ed è molto rinomata per i modellisti. Prezzo affare....
