Hi Treecat

Do want reference pics or are you looking for resin aftermarket engines? If it's the latter, what scale are you working in?

All the best

Hi Merlin, Going to be using a Italeri Opel in 1/35 Scale
so, 1/32 Scale engines . I know GMW has He-111 engines in this scale. Can't rember the brand and was wondering about refrence pictures of the engine in
and out of the shipping crate. No, I'm not planning on scratching a plane. just some engines in the back of a truck maybe a uber officer type inspecting a manifest
while a driver waits at the airfield gate post.

I have the truck, some figures I like , and the gate now I need a cargo to tie thing together.

Hi again TreeCat

Here are a couple of links for resin engines:

I need to wade through my Luftwaffe references this weekend for a research project, so I'll make a note of any crated engines I spot - I'm sure there are a few in there...

All the best

Thanks again Merlin ! any word from the powers that be on "bombs away" campaign approval or rejection I've heard nothing.

Been looking for engine pictures in my schiffer books and squadron books but nothing so far . not even in a unused lavatory behind a broken door marked beware of the lion. :-)

Hi again

As far as I know, there's no decision on anything yet, but I'm pushing for a clarification of next year's campaign approach by the end of this month...

All the best
