Be very carful applying decal #56 ! -
Ok. Ok. We’ll set aside that spicey Scarab interlude - for now - the engine bonnett needs the same finishing as the body - lots of rivets- made from .020 phosphor bronze rod - and then the engine turned finish …

How many more engine pix do you need ?

By the way - the cyl head seems to be designed like the Porsche cyl heads …

And if you draw up an offy engine with 20.5 inch cam covers and curved fuel injector horns you’ve got the engine … just sayin…

The Pocher engines are not- in my opinion - reliably scale accurate - the anwer - is to measure these things ourselves - which until recently - has been difficult to do - my I phone has a photo measurment app - its either cheap or free - cant recall - now - when i come across something I’m really interested in - Like the Scarab grand prix engine on display at Rev’s in Naples - I take some photos with some measurements …. Do you have this app ??

Gary of Circle Track Decals fame agreed to attempt to produce a set of these in 24th Scale - which is an act of scale foolishness and/or bravery … Anyway - he somehow pulled it off - these markings are designed to be applied over a white backing decal … which he also supplied - the black dot next to the insruments - believe it or not - depicts the water temp gauge perched on top of the radiator - which is also cool …. Bravo Gary …

The Heller T50 was a large car with a 5 litre engine - larger than the DOHCs in the T57 series - but Ive always suspected that the kit engine was too tall or over-scale …. thierry - what do you think ?

Crazy - you are right of course - Heller does kit the T50 - but dosn’t that just make you want the others? Have you built your T50?

Lister confusion meant the Costin designed Lister - and not the Sayer designed Lister - which is a fiction …

Gracias Cman

Tragic that the various T50 and T57 series Bugattis remain unkitted in 24th scale - that’s gotta change some day … I absolutely love the Atalante …
