If memory serves the Eduard Morane L had both 7cyl & 9 cyl generic motors. But! Neomega (Aeroscale advertizer) has a 1:48 scale Gnome!

Hi stephen
This kit could be used to supply a 7 cylinder engine.
Eduard Fokker Eindecker 1/48.

Certainly these plus the Eduard Fokker Eindecker 1/48 crankcase, See kit #8418, #8156 & #1141.
This kit could be used to supply a crankcase for a more detailed 7 cylinder engine.

Hi stephen
I have placed an order for kit #8418 and will I build kit with 9 cylinders and use the 7 cylinder for my scratch build project.
Kot's 2013 or a scratch build campaign would be great to apply my energy to!(hint,hint)
