We are doing another science presentation and thought it would be cool to use an engine model. has to be light enough to carry round otherwise i thought what is wrong with a pinto. lol

Anyone know of any good models we could use?

Thanks again chaps

might take a while to build though

A while back I saw a transparent plastic demo engine which even had little LEDs instead of spark plugs... I'll have a think...

I've recently been looking at these too. The Revell V8 model looks good but quite expensive

demon tweeks were selling a turning model engine... looked pretty good, only a few inches in size though, not cheap either.

also don't know if they have any left. i just knoe i got one of their emails about it a few weeks back
