oyoy5 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I have read a few articles and some state the engine is to large to fit in the cowling correctly. Did anyone else do this engine in 1/24, the clever is nice would just rather use an Oberursel. Edited January 16, 2021 by oyoy5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacewolf Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Yes, the RTD engine is too big.. to get it under the cowl you have to leave off the cylinder heads.. only do the ones that are visible... ask me how I know. ... I suspect the kit was made in perfect 1/24 scale.. no allowance for the cowling. Most model engines are made 5 to 10 % undersize to allow for this... pity, it's a sweet model.

oyoy5 Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 The Resin2detail engine is available as of December 2020 on their website. But if it’s too large to fit may want to do something different. I know ModelMonkey has one in the design just not ready yet. spacewolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
