Engine time

The engine fitted to this aircraft was the The Armstrong Siddeley Panther. A 27-litre 14-cylinder twin-row air-cooled radial engine



The engine is built up of numerous individual parts



Made holes in the crank case to accept the push rods



As the parts are made, they are glued onto the growing engine.



That's the fun bit over. Now starts the fiddly bit



Fitted the push rods and glued into place.



Once dry these were then trimmed off.



The rocker covers are made up of 1 mm card trimmed to shape.
