Been a few years since I looked at it. The HEMI should fit with minor modifications I would think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 That should be quite stunning Ben. Be sure to do an "In Progress" Thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) On 7/4/2018 at 11:51 AM, SfanGoch said: The original Renwal V-8 available on ebay. Priced at $129.99 with free shipping. Pretty good price and it's complete. Renwal The Visible V-8 The price came down. I bit. We'll see if it's complete. This is one kit you DO NOT WANT if it's been started and glued anywhere, but the early flywheel and electric motor drive parts might make it worth restoring if anything is bodged, and/or missing.

unclescott58 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Here's two I just recently built. In fact, I just finished the Revell Visible V-8 last night. The Franzis Mustang V-8 I built in the evening about a week ago. I have more info in a thread I started in the large scale section here.

Greg Myers Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 I saw somewhere that Atlantis was going to reissue this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three years ago, I bought a three kit assortment of Hawk engines for about $60. I started working on one, but, couldn't "leave it alone", and got sidetracked by other projects, so, it's sitting...

iBorg Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Are the Liberty and the Revell kits the same engines with Liberty's being assembled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Here's another one I got yesterday from Amazon. Four hours later, I had it finished. It's the 1/4 scale Porsche 911 by Franzis. I do question the scale being listed as 1/4 when you compare it to their own 1/3 Mustang motor. And The Renwal/Revell Visiable V-8. Also claimed to in 1/4 scale. Still a very nice kit.

Daddyfink Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Too bad Aurora cancelled this line before the 426 Hemi was finalized. But the two that came out where and are fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteski Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 My contribution to this thread is a Revell 1:6 Hemi 426 engine I built over 10 years ago. The kit seems to have been produced in early 2000s. This is not something I usually build, but for some reason it attracted me. It was a pre-painted kit, but that didn't stop me from doing some additional painting and adding bunch of detail parts.

With a little help from an a-daptor kit.. as Mr Cash put it... Spotted this pre-assembled one at a swap meet. Wish I'd kept the pic of the big scale Ford Indy engine I missed on the big auction site a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Austin Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Too bad Renwall didn't do a Visible Allison engine kit ? How about a DeDion or Mercedes? https://www.ministeam.com/acatalog/Classic_Mottors.html You can purchase metal castings to make working steam engines of various kinds. https://www.ministeam.com/acatalog/Casting-Kits.html Here's a fully-functioning miniature V8 https://www.ministeam.com/acatalog/Conley-V8-Stinger-609-Engine-COStinger609.html#SID=327 Edited December 9, 2020 by Brian Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
