The larger you plan to build it, the more detail you'll want to replicate. And then you find needing to upscale it to fit all the detail you want... and then comes the endless search for blueprints of every single piece of the airframe. Finally you settle for 1/8th scale, redraw lots of plans... until you find you NEED to go to the National Archives in London just to dig into the contents of a mysterious box called "Avia14", where the original plans of the B.E.2 series is stored. That's the point where I am now, after finishing a pretty beautiful Renault engine that now resides in a small showcase waiting for a model to be built around it.
Sometimes I imagine myself arriving to the National Archives in a way that resembles the warehouse in Raiders of the Lost Ark, opening the "Avia14" box and finding it empty, just with a note that reads: "Greetings from Sir P.J." 
That's a really good point Beto and one that has crossed my mind. I have a huge roll of drawings that I purchased about... 15 years ago with AVIA14 printed all over them. So I suspect I have the detail drawings you're referring to. The package of drawings I have for the Engine is also the same reference you used for your sensational files. I'v been using my lunch breaks to start the same in Solidworks. In one complete assembly though. And in some areas not as detailed as your files are. But it gives my mind exercise in what is otherwise a very tedious work day. I;m also trying to teach my self FreeCad, so I can work on all the details while I watch tely in the evenings, but it's so different to Solid Works, I have to say, I'm struggling.
Not sure at my time of life I can be bothered with the detail required to satisfactorily complete a 1/16 scale model, let alone a 1/8.
So I guess I'll start with the 1/24 build, see if I'm able to finish it before I'm too old/infirm/blind to do so and then decide whether I want to embark on the 1/16 version.
I'd really like to see photos of your finished 1/8 engine by the way.
And, although I suspect it might be a breach of IP on the part of the vendor I purchased the package of drawings from, I'm more than happy to wander over to the local print shop and get them scanned... For limited sharing with my friends. Or does the IP rest with the National Archives? In which case, I guess they are in the public domain?
And in other news, this morning I picked up a second hand Anycubic Mono 4K. The files I printed at the start of this thread were done on a three year old 2K Mono. I know, You can get affordable 8 and 10K machines now, but well...
Cheers,
Hugh
