  Bo,
What a great title for the website "Grease N Gasoline" Much appreciate the link my old friend. I'd imagine Keith (Kornedbeef) will shortly be including dings and dents in his intake manifolds and oil lines. AMS or not Keith is the Detail Master  IMHO.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette
HAPPY NEW YEAR to You and Yours

Moi? How very dare you  ;D

My latest build (will post in prog pics when the weather allows) Is the Fok Variant in the guise of Bruno Loerzer pre accident of course, To be honest I've had some difficulty in constructin and a unplanned drop did some unpleasant damages, I suggest anyone builds a cowls on version strengthens the joins between cowls and fuselage (My only ral gripe with WNW's D.VII so far is that they could have produced her with both fuselage options for early and late, that bodge joint just isnt upto standard. They did it on the old SE5A to give you a wrinkle option... Anyway. Shut up keith :o

All I did was dig up a link; Jamo took all those amazing pictures and has made them available to all of us at (relatively) high resolution, he deserves the thanks ...

For some interesting tidbits about the Mercedes engine, including the oil mess from the exposed springs, check out YouTube, searching for Kermie Cam Albatros.  "Albatros D-II in New Zealand" was particularly helpful, I thought.
Kermit Weeks has videos with lots of technical info on several WWI airplanes.

These look like beautiful photos but they are all way out of focus for me. Am I doing something wrong?

The photos are now located here:
https://jamesfahey.smugmug.com/Mercedes-DIIIa-engine/

To download, don't use a right hand mouse button click, use the small download icon on the lower right hand side of the screen:



This time the images are hi-res, hope you find them useful. It is a new build engine from The Vintage Aviator Ltd who are based here in Wellington, New Zealand. Note it has a water cooled jacket around the induction piping

Cheers
James
