Here's a little project I've been working on. Actually I started it abouot this time last years, but with neck surgery and work I just got back to it. This is the AHC Diesel, that's America's Hobby Center. It was never produced but there were castings made. They were found and a few have made their way into my hands. So the castings are from around '46-'47, the rest will be new. Its a .12, and very attractive. I built one as a sngle project and gave it to my Dad for a Christmas gift. So these 6 are being built and 3 or 4 of them will be for sale when I'm finished.

The pictures show the cases and some of the fixturing, crankshaft turning and at the end, boring and threading of the cases.

The one on the right is an AHC, I built this one too, gave it to my Dad as a Christmas gift. He's a motorhead too.

I said it before, but I'll say it again - I am continually surprised at the skills set modelers have.

Ditto what Bret said.

Randy:
You say these are .12's and you're making six of them; total displacement of .72... perhaps a B-36 in the offing, to keep your Saber company???

HE HE!!! Not quite Dennis, one of the ones I keep will end up on the nose of some old FF design.

The next parts, cylinder muffs. They can be seen in the lathe mounted on an arbor on the tommy bar thread. I cut the threads and checked them with a case, this save making a ring gage. Next step, needle valves.
