Austro-Daimler 120PS Aero Engine 1:16
« on: January 13, 2014, 02:09:38 AM »
Hi everyone,

  I've got my hands on the new Austro-Daimler 120PS Aero Engine in 1:16 scale by Wiener Modellbau Manufactur. This beauty of a kit is designed and produced by Peter Plattner. It's a multi-media kit that that contains resin, photo-etch, CNC milled push rods and detail wire.  Here are some pictures............





The engine block.....................







The cylinders...............





The magnetos and mounting fixtures.................





Three different types of exhaust pipes to choose from : long and straight, long and curved, short and curved





More plumbing and detail parts....................





Spark plugs.......................





Rockers and linkages..............





Photo-etch......................



Wire detail.......................



CNC milled push rods.......................



The instructions were provided by PDF.


Here are pictures of the incredibly detailed engine built by Peter Plattner.

That is an incredibly detailed kit which would be a real challenge to build to the standard of Peter Plattner. However I am sure that you can do it too and I look forward to seeing this one go together.

I certainly agree with you there!

What a cool kit, Mark!  I'm going to enjoy watching this build.  I hope Peter will consider applying his remarkable talents to a series of 1/32 scale Austro Hungarian resin aircraft kits.
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks Rick, Bud and Dave!

I've got the engine block, magnetos and cylinders cleaned up and ready for priming. I'll post pics when I get the cylinders painted.

G'day, Mark. 

Like the others, I'm looking forward to following this build.

Will you be building a Phönix C.1 for it?  ;)

Cheers.

Gad that's a scary amount of parts, Dal.  I cringe just thinking of how many
of the little beggars I could lose. ;)  Carry on, my friend, I am looking forward
to your build.  Interesting project.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thanks guys.

@ - Steffan - There is some cleaning up to do on some of the parts with some seam lines, about the same you would have to do with a resin figure.

@ - Dal - I would be all over a Phönix C.I, love that bird.

@ - Ernie - Thanks! We are having a cold snap here where I live and it's hard getting any airbrushing done but I should have something to post soon.
