excellent if you follow the instructions exactly .
My 5yr old grandson assembled most of it under my supervision . It is vital to read the book prior to assembly assome details have a very specific order which is not immediately obvious. Fitting the cams and rockers requires adultintervention but the rest is fiddly but fascinating for a child with good manual dexterity .

Terrible quality control for the price.
This was a Christmas present for my brother. When it arrived I thought the sticky box seals looked suspect like it had already been opened at some point and the box was a bit bashed on the corners. After reading other reviews about missing or damaged parts I told him to check the contents thoroughly before attempting to build it in case I needed to return it. As you can see from the photo, some of the parts are severely deformed and not moulded correctly. I will be returning this and requesting a replacement. I will update the review if the replacement also has issues. This is extremely unacceptable for an official Porsche product at this kind of price! The least they could do is check the parts before putting them in the box. I am still unsure if this may have been a return from another dissatisfied customer due to the condition of the box and contents, which would mean this has escaped quality control twice! Either way, purchase at your own risk and check it thoroughly. Hopefully Amazon’s reasonable returns policy will rectify the situation to some degree, but still does not excuse the manufacturer.

Poor quality, doesn't work and disappointing
Generally, this has great potential but I am afraid the quality was poor (especially considering the staggering price) and after hours of the building did not work. A few of the plastic panel parts were slightly bent and there seems to be a build issue where in order to get the distributor gears to properly align there is a gap left between the smaller distributor gear and the crankshaft gear B (shown in the photo). Upon completion, there seems to be too much resistance on the crankshaft so the gear attached to the motor that powers the model grinds against the gear on the crankshaft. All in all very disappointing. Instructions were followed to the letter.

Parts missing
Very dissatisfied parts missing two of the same part numbers cannot complete the build. Part number 52 two of the same part 53. Very disappointing bad quality control not good for Porsche and the maker Frainz. I would not buy any more products from this manufacturer.
