Wackyracer Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Hi everybody.I've a very interesting pics of a He-111p that's been downed. In the most part the wings are off and the engines sitting by the side.I really fancy having a go at creating the scene as it wont be a quarter of the size of the complete plane and I think would make an interesting dio.So my longwinded way of getting to my question is are there any am engines I could use? Research seems to point to Daimler Benz DB601A-1 but I cant find these. CMK do a DM601A and still available and Eduard did also (for the 109E's)but now discontinued.Are these suitable or are there any others I've overlooked?I've got all the cmk am with fuel cells, undercarriage and cockpit as well as Eduard etch sets and HGW belts and of course the Revell 1/32 He 11P!

LSP_Mike Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Perhaps some traders board DBs from Eduard kits that are built closed up? Rick Griewski and Wackyracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wackyracer Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 found my answer via another forum... Looking online at a reference in a book with the catchy title of Operation Barbarossa : the complete organisational and statistical analysis, Nigel Askey it states that due to DB601A engine production being reserved for Bf109 and Bf110, He111P production was halted in early 1940. The P's were the only He111 to use the 601A. So if your engine comes from a Bf109E (up to E-4's) or a Bf110D, then externally they are the same as that in the He111P. My reading is that there were A-1 and Aa versions of the DB601 that were rated for different output h.p. CMK resin DB601A's ordered for collection at SMW this weekend!

Rick Griewski Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Please send me a PM. I have one and maybe two engines from the Eduard Bf-109E kits (donors for B and D variants) for a very small contribution to my Tigercat purchase plus postage.
