OK, finished. Oberursel U.0 and U.III ready!!!!

Oberursel U.III contains of 127 resin parts

























And U.0











All the best, Lukasz

[Adam]

Lukasz nice to see yours next Oberursel, I have Oberursel UI and I'm planning to install it to Fokker E.III, it is on the way to me.

I'm looking forward to receiving my U0 engine, Lukasz has said it will be in the post in a few days, he still needs to make the boxes and get the instructions.

I ordered both the U.0 and U.III. I expect to use them in the future for a Fokker A.1 and Fokker D.III. Perhaps I will be able to use WNW parts too for these aircraft, but I expect to have to make the fuselages and wings myself. Will be a nice excersize. Now just waiting for the matching cowls made by Ron

Finally FINISHED!!!!!
Usually I say almost finished, something goes wrong... This time I found mistake (maybe inaccuracy) in valves lifters - this "tongue" at the back seems to have wrong shape. I couldn't stand this inaccuracy, and I corrected it.
 
Of course I took some time... Ivo, Des, Bo... - please accept my apologies - You had to wait "little" longer for ordered products - I'll try to do something You will not regret Each time I'm trying to do as accurate model, as I only can. I can see progress from the time of U.I - crankcase has better shape, junctions of plates are visible, and lifters has better shape
OK, let see - brothers together:

My wife ask me to do one of them as a new, directly from manufacture. For me UIII is little unnatural, but is so shinny




 
Oberursel U.0 for me is painted as more realistic:

 
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks for watching, Lukasz

Any chance of a U.II for Dr.I ? I have the Vector U.II but your stuff is in another galaxy...

Cheers

I promised this kit to Adam, so it will be done. Also Mercedes DIII and DIIIa (Andrew - it's good idea, this engines can be really striking!)

Absolutely amazing Lukasz, your work is phenomenal.

Absolutely stunning engines. It is well worth the wait and I'm not in a hurry. So don't be sorry Lukasz, it is just getting better. It will be quite a challenge to realise a convincing finish. I'm just a newbie at weathering and I have seen beautiful results here.

regards,
Ivo

I don't know....
I suspect that if you loosen a bolt, it will let oil leaking from beneath!

terrific!!!
this work kicks out all the engines present on all the benches at now... so sad!
