I had a little trip on Sunday to Old Warden and made friends with many
desireable engines. Sadly my camera was having a bad day
But I did find a little something that might not be beyond my capabilities to make a model of:
This is the Anzani "Military type" Fan Engine, a similair engine was published in Strictly IC back in 2001:
But it is not quiet the same
the other Y type Anzani is also nice:
And I noted that Les Chenery did a design for one in ME back in 1996:
Which is sweet
But Les's original design had balance problems, than needs to be sorted out
So now we come down to the problem of those
things the castings. I have found a very nice man who can do me some of these:
They are not the Les castings which are these:
the third party patterns have a bit more metal in them
and are priced to make me go
Can someone explain why the ribs on the new castings are in a different place to those on the Y type, is there another model Anzani that I am not yet aware of
.
