dummy R-2800 Pratt & Whitney
This is a build thread for the dummy radial we built for our Meister P-47. It started life as a 1/5 scale FTE resin dummy. The cylinders are not bad, but we wanted to add more detail and ad a better looking crank case and reduction housing. We cut the cylinders off and discarded the rest.
Here is the start. We used layers of 1/4" ply for the crank case. The housing was cut from the center of the stock Meister cowl. The backing for the engine is a cowl ring fit to the cowl so it is at the correct depth.
