I have finished my Hispano Suiza 8A engine, the engine for the Spad and SE-5. It is scratchbuilt except for the prop, which is modified from a storebought prop- changed tip shape and stained it mahogany. It is 1:6 scale.

I can't believe that's scratch built. Wow, that's amazing, what a great job!

Very interesting. More people out there ought to try things just like that. =] I think you start small and do just like you did and before you know it...you're building an actual plane (that you can't afford to keep! LOL)
Very nice. =]

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
It's a beaut, I can almost hear the thing run and smell the Castrol 50 weight. Very well done, thanks for the post and photos.

Actually, I had a 1:1 scale Vari-eze about 1/3 of the way complete. Then my wife found out what the engine would cost, and I had to sell the project :-(
Ugh. That's too bad.
I'm working on obtaining my pilot's license, but it'll be a little while till I can afford finishing it. So for now, a soldering iron is about as close as I'll get to "working" on an engine.
Nicly done Don! Great work.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Superb, Don!
I looked at some of your other photos, really like the BT, real or model? I did notice you credited the XFM-1 to Curtiss, but maybe Bell instead?

Whoops, you're right- Bell!
The BT-13 pic I think you are talking about is the real thing. I am using picture for reference to a model in progress, but I thought the pic was a nice shot so I prettied it up a bit in a photo editing program, eliminating a messy background.
