When the engine was then there was great joy. These many parts and all that I can put together. Unfortunately, the disillusionment took place on the foot. Already with the first components showed that mates nothing here.
The hexagon nuts are partially drilled off-center (something I get not offered at the hardware store!), Which is a real Ärgenis in combination with the small holes on the plastic parts. Not enough, Revell is probably the view that of 1.5mm is a tolerance in the length dimension of the parts at a normal model with 20cm length. However, much of this engine is to be reliant on an accurate fit.
In short, after about 2 hours work I had mounted the engine blocks and wanted to fix it. Thanks to the above-mentioned defects of a thing Unmöglickeit. Due to the small holes you do not get through the screws. If you manage that, then waiting behind no thread, no, because the nuts are not so center drilled and the enormous length tolerance makes it then finally impossible to assemble the blocks neatly. I did it, but gaping holes between the parts up to 2 mm, while's on elsewhere is too much.
Thus, I have adjusted my work to 3h, the thing packed away out of sight to the anger over sacked 70 forget, at least. I could the engine fertigbauen he would even work, but as a perfectionist, I have no pleasure in a thing where the parts do not want to match. The reference in the English building instructions you should not use force, since the parts fit properly mounted, is then on top of derision.
I should have trusted in my experience childhood. At that time I built model airplanes, and 20 years ago Revell was the precision fit a horror. Unlike making model kits from Italeri really fun. Here everything fits together as it should.
I can only recommend "Stay away" and invest this money in something else.
