Best model I have ever built
This model is pricey, so I sat on it for at least 6 months before buying ... I am so glad I did! The build and instructions were excellent! Everything fit together perfectly! I love that the entire thing either snaps together or uses tiny screws to build (no glue needed!!). The finished product is much cooler than pictures can convey. I did see one bad review from an "engineer that reads instructions" claiming the engine does not move. During the build, you use "locking tools" to immobilize the engine while you build it - this is necessary to get the timing right on gears and shafts. If he actually read the instructions and finished the model, he would have discovered that those tools are later removed (pages 89 and 92), and THEN the engine moves. This is so worth the money - what an excellent model that fit together perfectly! Minor nits: engine motion does not match recorded engine noise, the engine motion is very slow, and the recorded idle is fast (so it comes off wrong and a bit cheesy). The sound quality is embarrassingly bad. Aside from those two things that don't really matter, it is awesome. I love that the included screwdriver was magnetic - perfect for those tiny screws!

Really cool
I am a VW freak, and this is freaking cool!Looks goodLoved how I had to put everything togetherAnd when it's done it's a cool thing to lool atOnly thing was, I like keeping the box and put it on it or just hold it with the "toy", that it came with a pinched hole in the back of the boxAnd it looked like if the box was opened up, tape looked like it was placed back on the outside of the box

Brilliant!
A well designed and presented construction kit. It entertained me for hours, the instructions were clear and easy to follow in the impressive hand book that is included in the box. Overall a great purchase but at the top end for pricing.
