Review: Excellent service, delivered within a day. - This was a present for my partner. He loved making it and said it was high quality. I was impressed by the vendor. Delivered the next day - in time for Christmas- at a time of postal strikes. Fantastic

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the finished size of the model?**
A: It's about the size of a half gallon of ice cream.  Maybe a little bigger.  It sits nicely on the stand.

**Q: I need help with a replacement part.**
A: It will be difficult as the kit comes from Germany. There might be an address or phone  number on the instructions. I don't remember.

**Q: Does this engine mirror the exact same real one. Is it like you are building a real motor for a real car?**
A: Yes, Sharleen, it is an exact copy of a VW Kafer engine with one exception; it is a 1:4 scale model, so it is 1/4 the size of the real boxer motor.  Otherwise, it is in all respects identical.  My son has one and he loves it.
