***Toby,next time that you go to Duxford make a point of looking at some of these German aero engines,the Daimler Benz is such a lump,they have one that buried itself twenty feet under the ground in a crash and the supercharger is still intact,I have great respect for the German engineers and their belt and braces engineering,Luftwaffe aircraft are so captivating to enthusiasts the world over.

It looks pretty bare without the plumbing and ignition harness these are being scratch built at the mo as the kit offerings are not that good
