Vixen:
I have been given the unexpected opportunity to take over the build of this magnificent 1/3 scale replica of a Bristol Jupiter VIII FS radial engine. The engine is the work of Dan Robbin, but could easily have been the work of Faberge, it is a jewel, it is so exquisitely made.
Have a look at Dan's website, to see what I mean www.danrobin.org/Jupiter/The_Project.html
At 1/3 scale the Jupiter is huge, with a displacement of approx 840cc. My first Mini had an engine of that capacity.
Here is the 840cc 1/3 scale Bristol Jupiter alongside one of my 360cc 1/4 scale Bristol Mercury radials.
"Happiness, is a pair of big Bristols"
What a responsibility to take on, the completion of this engine
