A few tips: I was worried that my smaller than average 8 year old daughter wouldn’t be able to screw in the pieces since several reviewers said it was difficult. However, she didn’t have too many problems in that regard. It comes with a a very small Phillips head screwdriver that worked fine. Ours didn’t come magnetized but that’s ok. Some people prefer it that way. We did, however, magnetize the screwdriver with a magnet which I think helped. We also used an accessory screwdriver with a wider handle (whenever we could) to make it easier to turn. We also purchased a cheap modelers tool kit (Rustark 10Pcs Model Tools Craft Set Modeler Building Kit) for about $10 that came in handy, especially the file, the small knife, and the side cutter (for cutting the pieces away from the plastic frame). Just be patient, read the directions very carefully, read some tips in the amazon reviews (Jerry Davis, A. Aurelius, etc) and be prepared to modify a few pieces. Summary: The educational value is through the roof and it was a ton of fun to build. I have almost no model building, automotive, or mechanical skills to speak of but we were still able to get it done in a few hours spread out over 3 days with the timing spot on. It’s extremely detailed and teaches not just how an internal combustion engine works but about a lot of other principles of mechanical engineering like cams, gears, pistons, bearings and other stuff I can’t think of because I don’t know jack about engineering. It also teaches patience, troubleshooting, and persistence. The kit says for ages 14+ but I would guess that an interested 11-12 year old should be able to do it with minimal help. One reviewer says that her 9 year old finished it unassisted but I find that surprising (so did she to be fair). I think most 9 year olds would need at least some help. But that’s part of the fun. I LOVED building it with my daughter (who has expressed an interest in engineering). Almost forgot to mention that this latest version comes with an AR (augmented reality) feature. It’s super cool and educational. Didn’t work on my iPhone X but worked perfectly on our iPad. I would highly recommend this model for kids, teens, and adults who are interested in learning how an internal combustion engine works. My daughter enthusiastically rated it 5 stars but I’m thinking 4.5 just because I had to modify some components to get it to work. Hope this helps and have fun!!

Pros: As advertised, this is a quite detailed model engine. In particular, we liked the detail of some pieces like the cams and valves; and that it all goes together pretty much like a real engine would. Just one example -- the distributors actually fire like real ones, so you have to set the timing! And the cylinders actually follow a proper timing sequence, so the cams are really operating, etc.
The instructions are very detailed (in a good way). There were only one or two places where we scratched our heads.
Cons: We had some fit issues. A couple involved minor trimming of plastic pieces, no more than on any plastic kit really. But one significant one on a camshaft that just seemed too long (and/or the hole in the distributor was too tight). Was scary to get out a hammer and hacksaw, and I think we were kind of lucky not to bust a plastic piece trying to get the distributors and timing belt sprockets on the camshafts. [In case anyone else is having the same problem: We had to hammer both camshafts HARD to get them fully through the timing belt sprocket, and we did that hammering from the distributor end with sprocket partially on. And even with that, we could not get one distributor on enough to screw it on to the housing; or, it jammed the camshaft/timing belt gear too much. So we literally hacksawed off about 3-4 mm of camshaft on the distributor end. All good, and plenty of cam to fully seat in the distributor.]
Overall, would love to give this 5 stars for coolness and detail, and a very nice challenge for a growing model builder. But I think the fit issues could really stump someone and absolutely require adult help. So go for it if willing to deal with fit issues.
