POTM 2023 Month – Shvetsov M-11 radial engine aircraft by Tapcho

[Michael Mash]

Hello Members:
Here is the selection for “May Picture Of The Month”, from the “Aviation” builds category.
It is Tapcho’s rendition of a Shvetsov M-11 radial engine aircraft. It appears as if he began the thread to build the engine only.

But . . . he says . . .
“I guess I'm building this kit now just to see what I can make with it. But believe me I'm sailing in uncharted waters here.”

Good show Tappi.

Superb model, Tappi!

I really enjoyed following your build thread on this aero-engine and airplane.

A very well-deserved POTM.

Congratulations, Tappi. You've entertained us so well in the past that it was only a matter of time.

What a wonderful surprise awaited me when opening the site just to enter a new thread showing my latest build. Truly an unexpected honor. I also liked Mike's notion of a 'good show' and Philip's observation of me being a sort of an 'entertainer'. Thank you all so very much.

Magic, like the other gifted builders here, you have made my day on more than a few occasions. Nicely done, Sir.
