Made in China, BTW. **Q: Beautiful kit. but the wire that activates the piston lights is about two inches too short. is there a remedy for this?** A: Try different routings - I found one that just barely made it - plug the wire in first, then mount the motor on the base. Alternately, cut the wire, solder in an extension as needed. **Q: Is it pretty cool, It looks so badass ?** A: Extremely cool. I have a collection of model engine kits and this one fits right in. **Q: Box size** A: The box dimensions are 21x14x7 inches. Cheers!
