Darrin, we have a 12 cylinder 400 hp Liberty at our facility at Old Kingsbury Aerodrome. It is a huge engine. I'm not sure it would fit a D.VII fuselage without making it look strange and the size and weight would definitely give the aircraft far different handling characteristics than the original. I'm not familiar with other types of Liberty engines so maybe there is a model that would be more appropriate.

The Liberty would be way too heavy in a Fokker DVII. There is an earlier thread which discusses which engines are used in replicas.
