A Superb Educational Model: 15RPM Observation & Key Assembly Tips
【Main Review: Educational Value & Sound】 This is a fantastic educational model that accurately reproduces the SOHC mechanism of the Porsche flat-six engine. Porsche 911 fans will find it an excellent collectible, as it allows for a visual understanding of the ignition sequence and rocker arm movement. The running speed is slow, approximately 15 RPM (one crankshaft rotation every 4 seconds). It is perfectly suited for observation rather than dynamic realism. The sound experience is a major plus; while the built-in speaker is decent—slightly muffled, which might sound a bit "toy-like" to some—it captures the distinct, satisfying Porsche note very well. An audio jack is included for external speakers. The model is powered by three standard AA batteries (a relief for international buyers like me who were unsure of the power source). It operates in 30-second bursts when the button is pressed; pressing the button again during operation will start the engine sound, and the engine will continue to run until the engine sound end(start from 30 seconds). Pressing the button while this stops engine and initiates the engine sound only, and it stops when pressing the button again. 【Assembly Tips for Best Results】 The kit requires attention and some minor modification for the best fit, which stems from the design choices of a moving model. Piston Assembly: The gudgeon pins (piston pins) were slightly too long and needed to be sanded down to allow the piston heads to assemble correctly. Aesthetics: Parts like the rocker arms and connecting rods are highly visible from the outside. I strongly recommend thoroughly cleaning the gates and flashing with a hobby knife for a clean finish. While the gate marks on the piston head tops are visible upon assembly, they are largely hidden once the engine is complete, so don't be overly meticulous there. Material & Correction: The clear parts, likely made from a tough plastic (such as PVC), prioritize impact resistance/toughness over the precise dimensional stability of typical PS (polystyrene) models like those from Tamiya. This results in some warped pieces. I had to use a hair dryer to carefully warm and correct the distortion, and gently adjust the insertion tabs with pliers. However, because this type of flexible material gradually loses internal stress (stress relaxation) once assembled, excessive stress correction is not always necessary if the pieces fit together without breakage. 【Decal Application Guide】 The base decal is tricky and prone to misalignment. I recommend a careful application. Align the decal (still attached to the backing paper) to check the margins. Peel off only half of the backing paper and cut off about one-third of the exposed backing. Hold the lifted, exposed adhesive side slightly up while aligning the other half (still with the backing paper) to the correct position on the base. Once the position is fixed, let the lifted adhesive side stick. Then, remove the remaining backing paper and smooth out the whole decal. This ensures a clean finish.

Great gift idea!
Bought this for my husband for Christmas. He is a car enthusiast and has his own shop. He put it together and now we proudly have it displayed in our den. He really enjoyed putting it together and didn’t stop till it was finished.

most enjoyable model I've ever built
This model was challenging technically, but the instructions were clear and easy to follow, and no glue was required. Everything snapped or screwed together. Around 2.5 to 3 hours to assemble. Just double and triple check you have the correct cam parts in their correct locations and use the supplied alignment and timing tools. The instructions are contained within a nice book about the history of the Porsche engine. This would be a perfect project with a kid that is interested in how car engines work.

The kit is great
The kit is great, but one piece was missing. Had to contact the manufacturer in order to get a replacement. Thus the rating was lowered, be aware!

Precision parts
Very fun to build, everything fit very well, and engine ran as expected when finished. Like the nice book/instructions included.

Missing and Damaged Parts!
Some of the plastic parts had melted and were bent. (The valve guides). The springs that go around the valves were nowhere to be found! This was a very expensive model, I would have hoped for better quality!

Love this motor
I assembled the motor in a couple hours. Directions were on point, book on Porsche was great. You push a button, the motor fires up, shifts thru gears audibly, and each cylinder shows red lights simulating firing order. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about the Porsche flat six engine or just for fun.

Très bien, mon mari a été ravi de cette maquette. Le bruit est très satisfaisant une fois le montage terminé.

本商品は、一定程度の高額のホビー商品と考えます。 また、売主はアマゾン直接、販売元もアマゾンです。 しかしながら、配送されてきた商品を見ると、写真のように、商品自体にガムテープや伝票他集荷用のテープ類が貼られてました。アマゾンにもクレームしましたが、結論は下記の通りです。 〜商品の金額がたとえ高額でも、梱包無しの配送があり得る、その場合には、伝票や集荷用のガムテープなどが、商品のパッケージに直貼りになることがある。 〜配送梱包に関しては、アマゾンでは制御をして「いない」あるいは「できない」ので、たとえば、梱包を簡易でも良いのでしてください、といったリクエストは不可能である。よって、ホビー商品などで、高額商品で箱なども重要視するユーザーにとっては、アマゾンでの購入では、配送で伝票やシーリングの為のガムテープ、集荷用の指示シール、などが、商品直接貼りになる可能性があるので、お勧めできない。購入商品を、箱含めて大事にしたいなら、アマゾン以外の商業サイトの利用がよく、そういう事が気にならないのであれば、アマゾン利用で、ということになる。 〜カスタマーサービスでは、担当によってアドバイスが変わったりする、自分自身のケースでも当初のカスタマーサービスの担当の指示・助言内容(とても親切でした)が、その後の担当(印象が良くないです)で覆ってしまい、サービスの理解に苦慮。 省資源などの世の流れがあるものの、最低限商品自体は配送時の衝撃や傷から保護してもらいたい、という希望は、アマゾンでは通らない、あるいは配送のルートや梱包の担当などによって、まちまちになってしまい、法人としてそれはコントロールしない、ということです。購入時には、留意をしたほうが良いでしょう。

Ik sluit mij aan bij het Engelse commentaar van 16 jan 2021. ik heb het zelfde probleem bij het bouwen van de motor. De distributeur die de bougie LED moet laten werken functioneert niet omdat de tandwielen niet in elkaar grijpen. Alle andere onderdelen en de motor functioneren prima, maar het is jammer dat de LED's van de bougieslampjes niet goed functioneren. ik heb contact gehad met franzis en zij zeggen dart ik de boel strakker moet aanschroeven en nauwkeuriger moet plaatsen Dit durf ik echter niet en ik heb de boel goed geplaatst .Ik denk dat er gewoon een fabricagefout zit in het ontwerp. Bij andere ontwerpen van Franzis zoals de V8 en de BMW R90 ben ik dit niet tegen gekomen. Ik heb net weer contact gehad met Francis en zij blijven beweren dat het op te lossen moet zijn. Ze horen wel meer over dit probleem maar doen er wel alles aan om je te helpen. Ik ga het dus nog ff proberen

Todo bien excepto que en vez de la pegatina de descripción que dice el manual que trae, viene con una lámina en blanco, como si no se hubiese grabado, me gustaría que Amazon me enviase la pegatina que falta y al ser ellos vendedores tienes que solicitar la devolución, no quiero cambiar mi producto, quiero que me envíen lo que falta LA PEGATINA, no encuentro otra opción para escribir más que está, así que por favor Amazon enviame la pegatina o cambiaré las estrellas; El producto en si está genial, cumple con las expectativas, la caja es muy bonita y resistente, viene vista por lo que si es un regalo debes indicarlo, las piezas están muy curradas, trae un manual impresionante, muy bonito, que hace honor a la marca y su historia lo único que viene en Alemán e inglés pero hay vídeos de montaje en Youtube, absolutamente todo lo que viene en la caja está perfectamente enumerado y envuelto, trae su propio destornillador imantado y tornillos de sobra, NO TRAE PILAS que no lo indica en la descripción, las pilas que necesita son 2 de las AA, tiene luz y un sonido bastante conseguido. Es el regalo perfecto para un apasionado del motor. Lo volvería a comprar. P.D: Amazon recuerda la pegatina 🧐
