Vee-engine GB - (V)12 names so far...

Recommended Posts

How about a group build for anything with a V-configured engine sometime? Any number of cylinders from two to 12 or even more if there is a model of it. V-twins, V-fours, V-eights, V-twelves. Bikes, cars, boats, aircraft, in fact anything that featured a V-configured engine. American muscles cars, Range Rovers, Ducatis and Bimotas, Yamahas and Hondas, even Harleys if you must, the V-12 Merlin and Griffon engines and the inverted V of Daimler-Benz 600 series, power boats, the Volkswagen VR6 engine... the list will be huge and inclusive. Heck you can even build a Blackburn Beverly if you want to and can find a kit and know why it is eligible :whistle:

Hmm ... Im guessing since this is anything V-powered would a PT boat powered by 3 Allison V-12’s be suitable ? Or does the “V” need be a visible part of the build ? 

Your PT boat is a perfect subject :thumbsup: and no need for the engine to be visible unless you fancy the extra work of course.

I would be interested in this, have a couple of Cosworth DFV powered F1 cars in the stash.

Cool! Which kits are those?

We've had a radial engines GB, so turn about's fair. Add me to this, although I don't know where I'll be when it kicks off, or even if I'll be in a position to model.

 

Next time around, it'll have to be a flat engine GB...

Next time we can do in-line and boxer engines :)

Yes, I am interested in this GB. Got lots of V engine kits, so will have a look with what later.

Cheers

Cool. I'll add you to the list :D

 

This morning a friend showed me some photos of a Yamaha Virago cruiser bike that had been converted into a café racer :wub: A tempting project in model form as well as in full size.

Remember gang that aircraft are eligible for this one along with motorcycles, cars, lorries, boats etc. ;)

:hmmm:what about V-tails like in a Fouga Magister? V-P

Interesting option but let's keep it to engine configuration for this GB ;)

Just gone thru my stash.

A Ford GT40 with a mighty V8, or a V12 Jaag.

A few inverted V German aircraft, guess - and is inverted allowed?backstop

A surprise that normally has  radials.

 

And absolute backstop, a Spitfire.

 

I'm in.

Inverted or upright, regardless of orientation, any type of V-engine is good :thumbsup:

You can also do the Ferrari Testarossa and Berlinetta Boxer (among others), which both used a 180° V12, which isn't a boxer engine despite the BB moniker. Not that I will, I'm not a Ferrari fan.

 

Lots of luxury cars too, from Duesenbergs to Bentleys.

Anyone else want to take advantage of the opportunity for building something with a V-configured engine in it here? Or perhaps just a model of the engine itself?
