Hi everyone,

 

  I've got my hands on the new Austro-Daimler 120PS Aero Engine in 1:16 scale by Wiener Modellbau Manufactur. This beauty of a kit is designed and produced by Peter Plattner. It's a multi-media kit that that contains resin, photo-etch, CNC milled push rods and detail wire.  Here are some pictures............

Criticism if I may? I think the 3rd nut from the left is slightly out of alignment with Mars.Close though........"bangs head on table". Incredible.

WW1 nerd pron! I really really like the picture of the assembled engine by the creator.

 

Waiting for the WiP pictures I'm sure yours will be even better!

 

Regards,
