Crazy Ed Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Back in the Early 60's I had one of the Renwal Visiable V-8's. Kind of guessing that was the Granddad of the above kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzTom Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 What scale are they? If you are asking about the one in the Falcon, it is 1/18, like the third photo from the top. The photo above that one is the same engine on a stand. Thanks for sharing the link and the Model A engine. I had not seen that version before and having had a few 1:1 A's & T's I would sure like to find one. Thanks Mike, Looking at that again makes me want to dig my stash out and get started.

AzTom Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 This is actually a display of the John Deere Triple Link Suspension system but has a nice engine so it counts to me. It was made for JD dealers to demonstrate the front axle and is made of diecast on a wood base in 1/16 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10thumbs Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Tom, I can understand why you like to collect motors. Super idea. I have a couple 1:25 built up too just waiting for a frame to put them in. I like the larger scale motors too. Good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I totally agreed and have the same fixation for engines of many kindsPurchased some 1/8 kits to post along side their vehicle buildsHave a love for famous WWII airplane engines as well...Pratt and Whitney, Merlins and the like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTom Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Thanks guys. Greg you have me on the hunt for one of those Ford 4 bangers. Scott, I also have been fascinated by the early plane engines. I have a small kit of one here some place. I added 2 flathead 1/6 engines and 3 1/4 Hemi engines.

10thumbs Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Yes, those engines are all good looking. Heck, I'm even thinking of building several others I have laying around in the shadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenkocamaro Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Hey Tom, these engines are cool, and have seen these before, but display space is pretty tight for me. Thanks for sharing. I noticed that some of the Liberty engines don't have fan belts, is that the way they came? Cheers,Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTom Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Thanks. glad you like the engines.Lance, the 1/18 engines do not have fan belts. I wrapped a thick black thread around them with dab of superglue on the bottom pulley to hold it. Space is an issue for me until I get my man cave set up. I plan on getting all the engines in one display. This weekend I'll do a photo shoot of some more engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
