2 quick questions, if I may:

1. Ju-52: Where did you get the P&W R-1340 Wasp engines, Wirraway engine cowlings & 3 bladed Hamilton Standard props from?

2. Heron: How did you do the Lycoming engines and 3-bladed props?



The Ju52 was in 1/48. I bought a Special Hobby Wirraway and made moulds of the engine, prop and cowling then cast a number of copies in resin. I had some spares and a chap in South Australia asked me if he could have some, he ultimately built one of his own and won
a prize with it at a model show over there.

The Heron required me to make an engine form using balsa / plastic / filler then again making a mould and casting several copies, a few sets were sent around the world but I have never seen anyone else's finished example there were WIP builds posted on the usual websites but after the kerfuffle with photobucket all the image links dont work anymore, I will have a look in my old files and see if I can repost them


I forgot to mention the Heron props were old Aeroclub metal items
