Default RE: CD ScaleDesigns Albatros CI build

Here's another rotated shot of the Benz in the Krakaw C1. The rocker rods are missing on this engine, but again there's little to suggest an offset to the cylinders. One important thing to note however, is that the first cylinder sits well ahead of the first former. Now, I wonder...the flat milled top of the crankcase was most definitely asymmetrical, curving smoothly up on the left but with the extensions for the rocker rods on the right. Could this have fooled the original sketch artist? Did one artist produce both of the sketches with the offset cylinders?

(Did "ancient astronauts" really visit the Nazca plains of Peru?)
