Mould King 10204 V8 Engine Model that Works - Build Your Own V8 Engine Toy, 8-Cylinder Petrol Car Engine Replica Model Building Kit for Adult (750 PCS)

Not too complicated to put together. Girlfriend's son loved it.Good project for bonding

Great kit, actually works. However, it is difficult to keep a lot of the pieces together. Bought for my boyfriend but was more stressful than a regular lego kit.

Thanks! Another interesting motor kit from Mould King. A small box holds the two numbered stages, two stickers, a clear instruction book and the motor & battery box. The battery box requires 6 AA batteries, not included. Build wise this is trickier than some of the others in the series. The parts do not stay together as well, especially towards the end, it is easy to knock parts off. It is a little fiddly in places & delicate. If have not used a Mould King engine set before, it may be best to start with their smaller 552 Piece V8 set and build up to this as it is trickier than the bigger ones in my opinion! That black lever you see in pics and vid does not do anything, I thought it would have! Overall, an ok set that can challenge & needs a little patience. Thanks again!

Need to have numbers on pieces and lot better direction on how to put it together. put number on parts and on the pages.

My wife and I assembled this kit over a few evenings. We were both impressed by the quality of the model and the actual parts, which were very ... "name-brand"-like ... The assembly is a little fiddly, and there's some strangeness in the design (like half of the moving parts are invisible when complete -- like the pistons and crankshaft). But it's a nice value, and a nice middle-ground build, complexity-wise. The instructions were good. That said, the colors and printing make it sometimes hard on steps to figure out what part of the model is being referenced. The parts are highlighted in red, but the contrast isn't great, so real good lighting helps. Still, a fun kit for a good price.

Thought there’d be more metal than plastic.

There were several missing parts that made it impossible to complete. It was difficult to to hold the existing assembly together. It kelp falling apart.

Mould King is one of the better known Chinese building brick companies. This is one of at least two V8 engines that they offer. I like the other one (set #10171 better). This one is similar but the most interesting things going on inside the engine (e.g. the pistons and the crankshaft) are hidden from view. So while you can power up the engine with the included motor and battery pack (batteries not included), all you see are turning gears at the ends of the engine. This is almost entirely a Technic-style set. Technic can be a bit tedious to assemble, though the only thing I found odd in this set was the description of some of the parts as "plated" because they could not represent them graphically (the shiny silver pieces). The engine connects to a faux transmission with a non-operative shifter lever. The quality of the parts are okay but noticeably different (sometimes thinner) than what I expect. I would keep these parts separate from the real ones. There are two stickers. I did not notice any non-standard parts.

I love these engine kits. It's so satisfying when you complete them.

Great for the price

I started buying these for something to do on rainy days I highly recommend
