    Looks interesting . I hope it's not a "toy" but a real model. The parts are all already assembled and pre painted or do you do all the "dirty work" yourself ?

    @chinesegeorge @fiveten @johnb @faromike even I say toy, it’s more of an educational kit, something dad would build with thier child. But I intend to take what I leaned from the Porsche engine and make it something special. The houseing is all clear to a degree, so some of the parts I will paint. It s says the gear box works, I have looked at a video of a rebuild of the real engine and this one looks pretty close to the real thing. I’m looking forward to it

    Started work on this yesterday, i’m going the extra mile and painting some parts, most parts that dont require it. Actually none of this kit requires paint, It’s basically a toy one with build with their child, so by adding paint it looks better. Also putting a dot of oil on the moving parts as it worked better on the Porsche engine….stay tuned…..

    This is very cool, Cricket (@bikequeen). Sometimes it is fun and relaxing to build something that is already partially done. Your extra touches will really raise the level of this.

    To me it doesn't look toyish at all, Cricket @bikequeen
    Good idea to add some paint to it.

    @faromike Hey Mike nothing is pre-painted there are clear parts and grey parts and a couple black parts. The grey parts I painted different shades of silver. I also added some detail to some of the clear parts but they didn't take paint well 🙁
