1/43 Ford Indy DOHC engine

[mad mike]

Hello everyone,

call me crazy, but I had to try this, seeing those nice 1/43 Starter kit builds here. So I really wanted to see what this printer actually can do and if my CAD designs are printable in that small scale. Remember, I modeled the parts to work in 1/8 scale.

So here it is as usual, no attention to color, wiring etc, simply made of printed parts with no finish other than an overall thin layer of silver. Parts are: block, balancer, gearbox with two output shafts, headers and two endpipes.

The overall length is 40mm. On one pic you can see it with its bigger 1/24 brother for comparison. Check out the original 1/8 version here:

Wow.  I was toying with the idea of modifying a kit I bought to use this engine in 1/25 scale.

That's a wild one. Those headers are something else! And the headlights are being used for ram air I guess, wow.
