And now, after posting a damn small 1/72 Fokker the total opposite! Something completely different, a model in 1/16.
Austro-Daimler Aeroplan engine 120 h.p.2014 there was a contest in the german
modellboard.net, a anonymous build within six month, where the model have to be shown on a beer mat. That was the only rule.
The kit is a resin kit with PE and brass of the "Wiener Modellbau Manufaktur" (wmm.at) from Vienna,
the engine is a austrian engine developed in Vienna or nearby (Wiener Neustadt) by Ferdinand Porsche,
was used in the
Etrich Taube A.II (Igo Etrich lived in Vienna),
is the beer mat from Vienna (translation "What's moving Vienna").
Finally the users are voted this model to the first place! I'm deeply grateful to my friends of modellboard.
I was really surprised, because I bought this model before on a fair from the manufacturer, then I was going to a different booth to buy my first Alclads - so it was planned as Alclad training model. Later I idea of the contest came up and I located the model in my stash and checked the size - you know the rest of the story. I thought about posting it here, since it is a result of a contest of a different forum and not a aircraft, but it is my model and shows an old aircraft engine, so it should match the range here.
Thanks for reading, I hope you will like that engine too!

Again some details, the wooden stand was not part of the kit, ...
... the brass airscrew mounting, which turned on my lathe, also not:
Some of the smaller resin parts I replaced with brass:
And a detail view of the cylinder heads:
