Built model

Model building is a great way to develop learning skills and increase dexterity.

Join the World of Model Building
There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of building a model. But did you know that studies show that building a model can help develop coordination, improve dexterity, and advance reading comprehension skills? Plus, it’s a great way to inspire creativity and learn the history behind some of the world's most popular vehicles and figures! Whether you’re new to the hobby, an experienced builder, or just looking for a project to share with a child or grandchild, it’s time to discover the thrill in being able to say, “I made that!”

The Story Behind the Model
Have you ever wondered just how a V-8 engine works? Have you always wanted a small plastic replica of a V-8 to sit on your desk and impress your friends? If you can say yes to either question, then you should build Revell's 1/4 scale Visible V-8 engine.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. A superb educational tool on the inner workings and construction of a V-8 engine!

Helpful Hints For Building
Your Visible V-8 Engine is a Level 3 kit – it is perfect for intermediate and advanced model builders. Parental supervision is suggested. Always study the assembly drawings included in the packaging before beginning. Each part is identified by a part number.Trimming to remove extra plastic and filing to smooth before part assembly is suggested. For better paint and decal adhesion, wash the plastic parts in a mild detergent solution. Rinse and let air dry. Check the fit of each piece before cementing in place. Allow paint to dry thoroughly before handling parts. This is not an actual running engine; it is meant for display purposes only.
