 Very cool August 22, 2008

First off, I wouldn't call this or any model kit a "toy". You don't really play with them like you do a toy.
I had an original visible V8 engine kit back in the late 60's when I was a kid, this puts them to shame in detail. It doesn't have the "working ignition" but other than that it's much better. First off it's a Hemi, probably the most feared engine in racing, at least in that era. Much better than the generic Visible V8 that preceded it. Second it's very accurate as a replica. I'd love to see these produced for a number of engines. They are very fun and very efficient tools to teach your child how an engine works and a lot less messy and expensive than the real deal. But then that is the next step in our garage.
 Instructions are poor compared to the quality of the parts February 29, 2008

Most parts are well molded and all parts were intact. This model is not for the casual modeler as some of the instructions are not accurate or clear and due to the moving parts that require very accurate assembly this could cause major headaches. If you get this model read ahead in the instructions, prefit the parts before gluing, and compare the parts locations to the assembled images of the engine on the box.
Although I rated it highly, it appears that Testor dropped the ball on the instructions,
I also suggest that some parts be painted to match the pictures or real engines. Painting makes a noticable improvement in the display.
