Functional V12 Engine & Gearbox

Functional V12 Engine & Gearbox — 3,471 Piece Engine Building Set

Functional V12 Engine & Gearbox is an engine designed around accuracy rather than play, and it shows in the part choices. It runs to 3,471 pieces at 1:8 scale and takes around 9-13 hours to complete.

What Youre Building

The model is assembled as bottom end, pistons and timing gear, each finished as a separate unit before final assembly. Completed, it measures 69 cm x 32 cm x 25 cm (27.2 in x 12.6 in x 9.8 in). At 1:8, the proportions are set for display rather than play.

Inside the Box

3,471 ABS bricks with consistent clutch power, sorted into numbered bags. A printed manual guides the build step by step. Every brick is compatible with the major building systems, so parts from an existing collection drop straight in. If a piece is missing or damaged, our spare-parts guarantee covers the replacement.

The Build

Rated advanced, this is a demanding build suited to experienced builders who plan their sub-assemblies. Expect roughly 9-13 hours for a first pass at a steady pace. Working through the engine in stages keeps the bench manageable, and sorting parts before you start saves time on a build of this size.

Display & Specifications

Finished, the engine sits best on a desk, where the moving internals are the point. Allow 69 cm of width for the footprint.
