Radial Engine Car Assembly Instructions

Please read the General Instructions for Acrylic Models first, then watch the video below.

This video is for Radial Engine Car only: there are separate assembly instructions pages for the Single Overhead Cam Internal Combustion Engine Car and the Dual Overhead Cam Internal Combustion Engine Car. There are also separate assembly instructions pages for the engines as stand-alone models (not part of a car): Single Overhead Cam, Dual Overhead Cam, and Radial Engine.

The Radial Engine Car model is one of our largest and most complex model. Putting it together will likely take you 2-3 hours, and watching the three videos below is essential to getting it together in operational form.

To start, you assemble the Radial Engine and Rack-and-Pinion Steering mechanisms by following their respective assembly videos. Then you move on to the main car assembly video, which starts off with these two sub-assemblies already finished.

Make the videos full-screen using the icon in the bottom right of the video player.

Main Car assembly video. PLEASE NOTE! The video shows a set of tires being added to the wheels. These tires proved to be too difficult to manufacture and are no longer included in the kits. They were kind of ugly anyway...
