The oily fingered brotherhood KK54101
I put together a factory 1/32 "test-bed" The original image looks like an allied version with a LeRhône 9Jb 110 -130hp. But, I built the German version with an Oberursel Ur.II.

Along with the modified Roden engine kit parts, Kellerkind oily fingered brothers / mechanics I am scratch building the rear of the motor, the instrument controls, electrical wiring & fuel feeds.

Good Idea. It reminds me of an archive photo I saw a while ago online of a Rushton Proctor testing machine. This was a piece of apparatus a similar shape to the one on your vingerette, made of wood and on a railway track. I think it had a Clerget engine with airscrew attached. I tried to Google it before posting this but unfortunately I cannot find it.
