The engine
The engine is quite a simple affair that is made up from less than 10 parts. You could go a lot further than this especially in this scale and with it being totally exposed. It looks ok from the box but I did add some ignition wiring using lead wire just to add some more detail and interest. The kit contains two propellers; a wooden option and a metal option – check you references as to which one to use.
