Eduard cheapened out on the engine...

Eduard should have done 2 seperate engines like Roden did, since the only difference on their engine is the intake pipes and carb. The cylinders for the BMW are larger and shaped differently as well as the crankcase is completely different. But since the Eduard kit has the cowls molded closed so you cannot see the engine at all (except for the top of the cyl. and camshaft). So the amazing question here is why did Eduard include an engine data plaque on the original photoetched sheet? and is it a Mercedes or BMW plate LOL!
