Wanting to buy 5/16 scale model of 4HP vertical R&V Rocky's models

Does anyone have a casting set for the Root & Vandervoort vertical 4hp setting on the shelf they would part with?

I purchased mine from Rocky's models at this URL

I have one, but am on the fence about whether I want to sell it. Is Rocky no longer selling these kits?

He currently does not have one of these available.

This is a tough engine to get running dependably.  Mine will run, but only after some 'tinkering'.  Once I get it running it will run, but then need more 'tinkering'' before it will run again.  The igniter is very hard to set up properly.  I don't take mine to shows because of all the fooling around it seems to need.  Others may have better success I guess.

I am looking for a new project to start and I just really like that engine. I have built a 1/3 scale Galloway with the igniter, finished last summer, and it runs great. Have not had any problems with that one at least.

As Craig says it is a lot harder to get running than a Galloway or even the horizontal R&V, I'm still tinkering with mine but getting closer to the sweet spot.
