Conviently, the crankcase was the same radius as one of my sanding drums.

@nd attepmt at the crankcase. After laying all the sectors out, I made the cylinder bases by slicing them off on my lathe after using the drum sander to match the radius of tht crankcase.

First attempt at making the crankcase: Not happy. I'm not good at carving.

All nine cylinders done. I think that this going to get complicated before it's over. I had purchased a Williams Bros. 1/12 scale radial, but it just looked to big hanging out there, even though the OL-8 is aprox 1/14 scale.

Sorry about the spelling on the last post. This are (is)? the assembly of the aforementioned discs into the cylinder for the Wasp Radial on the front of the OL-8.

Bottom side shows that it is a P-38 and has a 1942 date molded into it. Always heard of these critters but have never seen one before. Another "treasure" for my daughter to unload when I'm on the wrong side of the turf.

Picked up this cute little WWII molded rubber ID model at a Flea Market for $2.00. It has a wingspan of 8 1/2", which makes it roughly 1/144 scale.

The guys at the VA are in the minor leagues when it comes to OCD (or being anal retentive): The picture is from Jim Landoni of Denver, and is one of many that document his build of a 1/16 JN-4. You can ind it on Flickr under the "great Landoni"

BiPlane Guy; If you want a Scientific Wild Ass Guess:I would say that is a cover for the fuel tank hold-down. Look at the picutre and you will see the two brackets on the centerline of the wing that correspond to the shape on your model. Looking at other PT-17 pictures shows that there are thru-bolts through the U-channel to retain the tank. I think.
