DR1-Rotary Engine

The Build

Here is a link to all the pictures I took during the build. Some of the pictures were of my first attempts at different construction techniques that did not work out so well :-)  DR 1 Google Photos  

Oberursel UR.2 Rotary Engine

I started with the engine first. The engine presented in the kit is the Oberursel UR.2 rotary engine. Most of the pictures that I have reviewed the valve guide brackets are removed, not sure why this is but I will remove them as I like the look with them removed. 

Also noticed that the kit engine did not have these areas modeled into the motor case so I will need to add them. 

Getting started with the cylinders 

The pushrod inlets were not molded in the correct position on the motor case. I made adjustments to the case position to allow the proper angle of the pushrods. Added the pushrod inlets to the engine case as well.

Lining up the exhaust stacks after adjusting the engine case angle.

Painting started on the engine, base coat in ALCAD chrome paint.

I used lead wire for the spark plug wires, worked great and they look the part.

The engine is now complete and ready for install. Used multiple coats of various ALCAD colors and Tamyia paints. I use only Tamyia and ALCAD paints as I always get excellent results with these two brands.
