Re: Miniature Engine Display
Wish they were Nudge, I went to see some Bridgeport tooling he'd been selling, & saw a couple of 4 strokes on a shelf & passed comment, he then said come & have a look at these.
No camera so I asked if he would send me some pics, the little one is really impressive, home made everything, have a look at those exhaust ports in the steel liner, threads so fine you can hardly see them, the prop is for a Cox 010 & looks too big, made me realize how much I've got to learn!
Though I did tell him that if they ever went missing check my place first.

Re: Miniature Engine Display
It takes a lot more skill to make something small. the level of accuracy has to be a lot higher.
If it goes missing from your place (once you have taken it from his) you know where it is!

Re: Miniature Engine Display
Update in that:
Two Big Boys recently AKA an early Fox 78 really nice and similar year ASP108 that is rather big?
I require a muffler for the early hi comp ASP by the way.

Re: Miniature Engine Display
Best bit over last few months I got a lot of interesting Australian engines.
This is one of one and I have actually started it. Let me say that My heart was racing as it was last run by the maker.
I used the included documentation as to the fuel mix.
It is unique Australian modeling history and yes I was silly with the $$$s but.........I own it.
The prop is correct size and from my collection of period new old stock.
Can anyone guess what it is?
