WNW Fokker DVII MFJGr 1,Gotthard Sachenberg, 1918

[miamiangler]

  I started This project on Dec 30Th. I was waiting for parts from TaurusModels  which where sent to me from Mr. Lukasz . He made a new set D3209 which fits the Mercedes DIIIa. I will be building the Mercedes DIIIau 200HP engine . In the plane I will be building the top covers are not used so more of the engine will be seen .

Wili,

Just picking up on your build thread -

Your engine looks great.   Those after market (Taurus) detail parts really do add an impressive amount of realism.

Thanks Dave ,
     Yes  the Taurus parts look great .Just small pieces my eye`s are not what they used to be .
Well I got the engine 99% done and I `m going to hit the pit next .
