There are so much ideas with this kit. SInce I am unable to work on a real classic VW engine. I used to long ago. I can modify this engine as much as I used too.

Very Cool for a VW enthusiasts desk decor
Very cool, actually depicts a 1200 engine with an oversized Bosch distributer with centrifugal advance and the carburetor seems too tall. The valve timing was a little tricky - had to reset it. Over all a very cool model of an early VW engine. I may add a fuel line and redo the wiring. Also they should have molded the cylinder numbers on the shrouds like the real ones. Also the spark plus wires are too long it's like the distributer was made for a larger model. the muffler is a rare 1 outlet pipe type, very cool. It is a kit I have been waiting a very long time for.Very cool, actually depicts a 1200 engine with an oversized Bosch distributer with centrifugal advance and the carburetor seems too tall.

Great kit of a great engine
Like the other kits from Franzis it is easy and a nice kit to build. I have built many kits kike these over the years and it is great to find someone that has engineered the pitfall of the others out. The clear plastic one were always brittle over time and discolored. Love to see the Rolls Merlin engine done in 1/4 scale to go with the Renwal 1/4 round engine. That is the one I used to teach people about round aircraft engine operation. Keep up the great workLike the other kits from Franzis it is easy and a nice kit to build.

Great teaching model.
Just started putting it together. Everything looks well made. So far it looks very authentic, I am a VW enthusiast for more than 50 something years. I am taking this opportunity to teach my 13 year old grandson who is actually building it with me to show him the model and also a real one. I rebuild VW engines as a hobby. He is really enjoying it and so am I.

Best beetle buy
Awesome project. Arrived in outstanding condition. I got this project for occupational therapy, extremely satisfied. Just one issue i can't get the pistons to move. Any ideas? I feel it was assembled correctly.
