That powerplant is really something.
Having never heard of Nichimo, I must say I'd sure like to have one of these. But like Don, from a little bit of searching, isn't going to happen.
Have fun and do keep posting pics, please.
Would love to find a kit, but the prices on Ebay scare me!

I envy you. I'm hoping to try to go back in the spring and see if I can get my Private. I tried about 25 years ago but marrisg and family took priority. Did get time in an L4 Cub and a Beechcraft Baron though.
Anyway... Just about done with the engine. I’ll run a little more wiring, plus the panels that I assume are for noise reduction?? I don’t see them in the parts so the ones I’ve seen people do must me from scratch. Doesn’t look too complicated.

I just went up in a Skyhawk SP a couple of weeks ago. I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially for it having been my first time being at the controls.
This should be fun. I have some time in 172's so I'd be interested in this kit too.
OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...
Ha ha! I built a 1/6 scale Continental 65 that way for an R/C project. But then I cheated and made a mold from the first completed cylinder and cast the rest.

Wow - very cool. Interesting way to build an engine.
Thanks,
Started this old girl yesterday. I’ve wanted one of these for years. Decided to start with the engine. 120 individual metal radiating fins to stack! 30 on each cylinder. Ugh.
Decals were up-scaled from 1/72 by Arctic Decals in Finland.
More to come. Chris
