I have seen a couple kits of WWI radial aircraft engines in catalogs and thought they were pretty cool…but what I really want are models of WWII warbird engines. I would love to build a kit of a Wright R-1820-97 Cyclone like those found in B-17s. Twin Wasps, Allisons, Deimler Benze, and Rolls Royce engines would also be awsome. Anyone agree?
Has anyone seen kits of these things?
You mean like this…
Ya, these are pretty sweet, but I am looking for the more mainstream WWII engines we usually see in bombers and fighters.
Well, if u wanna do an engine, and a well known on at dat, why don’t you do 1-1.
Theres tons of em aoroundif ya know what a lookin for.
There aren’t any other kits that I know of other than Wiliams Bros. They also sell separate cylinders and you could “double up” a pratt and whitney or scratch build…not.
