1/8th Scale Allison V-12 buildup

Hello:

This is the first time I have ever posted on this site, though I come here often to see all the amazing models you guys have here. When ever I get a chance to build a model I usually build larger scale car models.

Anyway, I am just starting a build that I though you guys might be interested in. I am building a 1/8th scale model of the Allison V-12 engine. I hope I have this posted in the right forum, it seemed to be the closest fit.

Since this is my first post, I am just going to see if I can post up some pictures. Please let me know what you guys think or if you have any ideas, I value your opinions a lot because of the fine work I see throughout all these listings.

Thanks

Who makes this kit? It looks like it could build up into quite an impressive display. Keep us posted on your progress.

Well, it looks like there is some kind of picture size restrictions. All my pics are cutoff.

I will leave them up because most of the pics are shown, atleast enough to get an idea of what I am doing.

Could someone tell me what size pics are required?

Thanks

I agree, would look great displayed next to a plane that used it

TDR Innovations makes this kit. I am one of the designers for TDR and I designed this particular kit. You can find this kit at:

TDRcatalog.com

Beautiful stuff. I’d love to have a built display of both the allison and the Merlin engines I know you don’t make the merlin. yet.) complete with abreviated props and spinners mounted on nice walnut or oak display stands.

But there ain’t a snowball’s chance in hell I can pay that for a kit. So, pipe dream I guess.

I post pictures at a max width of 1280 pixels, when the page is opened they show at about 450 pixels. When the reader clicks on them they will open up to full size. Sometimes when the page is first opened the picture will be cropped until all the data is read, then it will right itself.

This build looks very interesting! Can’t wait to see some more.

Very impressive kit. Keep us posted.

BTW, Welcome to the Forums.

WOW!! Awesome kit! I didn’t know that anyone offered the kits that TDR does. I’ll definitely be checking your website periodically for new stuff. And, being a MOPAR fan, I just GOTS to have one o’ dem 426s you got in the catalog!! [:P]
