BR2 engine for Sopwith Snipe

Hi all - I am currently doing a very protracted build of Copper State Models Sopwith Snipe. The engine in this kit is not the best, so I have scratchbuilt this one. The cylinder heads aren't detailed - but once in the cowl they will not be visible (I don't 'Model for God')

Carpo- That is pretty awesome for a 1/48 scratchbuild. How did you make it?

Br2

Hi Taz,
The hardest part would appear to be the cylinders but they are turned up on my lathe (10 inch bed - 12 volt motor Clisby lathe) so no worries there!

The induction manifold is made from brass wire, simply bend and cut to fit!
