After a break with working on the K3 in 1/8 i made the engine for the 962 ready now.

I want to concentrate on the necessary stuff to fill the empty engine bay.

Its now a 24 piece engine which is about to start the first test prints to check if its possible to print it.

Hope it will work fine.

regards Christian

That is impressive. May be one day you'll put out 1/24 version as well

A 1/24 scale version?
Don't think so. The parts are designed for 1/8 scale and maybe they can work for 1/12. But for smaller scales they would be thin as paper.
Not possible to print it without getting back to the CAD file and start from the beginning.
Sorry, but that was not my intention when I start it.

Just put the first engine parts together.
Worked very well without sanding or using glue.
Not all parts are installed yet and some need tiny corrections. But the look with an engine is not that bad.
