Teching 5-Cylinder Radial Metal Engine Model Kit assembles into a working radial engine whose crankshaft, rods and pistons you can watch in motion through viewing windows.

Why it is listed here

Unlike static etched-sheet kits, this is a machined engine model with a real electric motor that sets the internals moving. Over 230 labeled parts in anodized aluminum and stainless steel give it far more mechanical depth than flat-sheet models, and the custom foam carriers keep everything organized. The radial layout, with five cylinders set around the crankshaft, makes it a distinct choice next to inline engine kits.

What the build involves

Parts arrive labeled in foam carriers, so take out only what each step needs and follow the full-color manual closely. Turn the crankshaft by hand at each stage to check that the rods and pistons move freely before final assembly. The listing does not give the battery type, so check the manual before you start, and keep the kit away from unsupervised children under 14 because of its small parts.
