Detailed modelling
This is the third Franzis model engine kit that I have built this year and as is to be expected the detail of the mouldings is second to none. The very comprehensive instruction manual simplified the build and the inclusion of the engines history was an informative read Only just one small point that I found building the BMW R90S was the exhaust system, which you would expect to be the easiest but care should be taken when removing the pieces from the sprue or tell tale black marks are left. All in all a superb half scale of the engine and gearbox, and looking forward to building the next Franzis model.
