The wiring for motor and distributor is easy the motor/drivegear box is pre assembled into a plastic sheething and screwed with tri-angle headed screws(which I wouild have rather had standard so I can fix it if it were a problem in future) the gears are greased already so no need to go plowing around in there.(I know for a fact I did some prodding in the gearbox ;) the distributor has a bevel that lines up with the column and timing is a clear cut job! the parts move freely without noise(by themselves) unlike Revell's abomination and its nasty flash under the cylinder bases! the only gripe I have(and it doesn't loose a star) is the motor/gearbox is quite noisy. nothing can be done about this as the motor needs the geared down gears inorder to turn a huge number of plastic parts. you can plasti-greese the gearbox but it makes very little difference.(make certain to remove the original factory oil from the gearbox first no mixing greeses!). the engine so far, as not been a difficult or eventful task but it is a lot of fun to put together to pass time whether you are 16 or 60! I am 48 and it is just as fun now as my old V-8 was in Christmas, 1980 when I was 10! of course Revell had sparkplug lights and a drive motor then and the parts were of higher quality! this engine is of that quality or more! for one thing no flash! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great gift! *by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018* This was the perfect gift; We got to build it together and learn a lot about engines in the process. Really fascinating to see it all working, and the result is a really cool interactive decoration. The book is a must-have for any Porsche enthusiast and really sets this kit apart from other models; the book would be a great gift by itself. The instructions were a little complicated in a couple spots, but not too hard. I highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great kit, good learning tool *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2020* Not only was this a fun kit to assemble, it’s attention to details actually teaches some fundamentals about how car engines work. It might be a bit of a challenge for kids, some assembly instructions were confusing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/40448682-new-porsche-flat-six-boxer-engine-model-kit-new-porsche](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/40448682-new-porsche-flat-six-boxer-engine-model-kit-new-porsche) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
