Aeronut Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 OK can anyone identify the engine from that image? It may allow some aircraft types to be eliminated from the guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st george Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) looks like a Le Rhone 9J. so lots of possibilities. Edited September 15, 2019 by st george Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matave Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Avro 504 is my wish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbjorn Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Le Rhone 9C I believe. Various marks of Nieuport, Sopwith (Camel, Triplane, Pup), but also many many others. Wiki has a list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1968 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Bristol M1.c, I hope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planebuilder62 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I hope it is a Monosoupap to suit a Vicker FB-5 Regards Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Le Rhone 9c applications according to Wikipedia:- Bristol M.1 Bristol Scout Caudron G.III Caudron G.IV Caudron C.43 Caudron C.127 Farman HF.20 Grahame-White Type XV Grahame-White Bantam Morane-Saulnier G Morane-Saulnier H Morane-Saulnier L Morane-Saulnier N Morane-Saulnier P Mosca-Bystritsky MB 2bis Nieuport 10 Nieuport 11 Nieuport 21 Nieuport 24 (trainers only) Nieuport 27 (trainers only) Nieuport 80 Nieuport 81 Nieuport 82 Nieuport 83 Pemberton-Billing P.B.23 Ponnier M.1 Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.8 Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.4 Sopwith Camel Sopwith Dove Sopwith Pup SPAD S.A-1 SPAD S.A-4 Thomas-Morse S-4 Thulin Type A Vickers F.B.12 and then there is German production and development carried out by Oberursel Moterwerken as the UR.I. bit of choice there but I'd rush to get a Bristol Scout Fair old list for possibles on Wiki if its a Le Rhone 9J too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard123 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Wingnuts 30270 to 32076 inclusive are all Sopwiths, all Camels except 32073 which is the Dolphin, so my money's on another Camel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbjorn Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Yeah, I don’t think it’s the Overursel clone (though not sure), so a Sopwith is a good bet. Edited September 16, 2019 by Torbjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st george Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 The intake manifold tubing is attached to the crankcase behind the cylinders in the drawing as per the Le Rhone 9J. On the 9C the intake manifolds are fully visible from the front. So that would give us a choice of the following according to Wikipedia:- Airco DH.2 Airco DH.5 Armstrong Whitworth F.K.10 Avro 504 Bristol M.1 Cierva C.6 Hanriot HD.1 Fokker V.4 (F.I 103/17 - Werner Voss) Morane-Saulnier AC Nieuport 16 Nieuport 17 Nieuport 20 Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.8 Sands Fokker Dr.1 Triplane Sopwith 1½ Strutter Sopwith Camel Sopwith Gnu Sopwith Pup Sopwith Swallow SPAD S.A-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbjorn Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 You’re right, it’s a 9J. The crankcase looks different on the 9J photos I have, but I guess there might be different versions - and the 9J looks like that in other WnW kits. Could be the German clone too then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k5054nz Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Richard mention this new kit very, very briefly in their latest newsletter as part of a list of other kits in development: -32075 1/32 New Model in Development (powered by a French LeRhone engine) – announced on 6 September 2019.

Duncan B Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 A 1 1/2 Strutter would be nice or an Avro 504 but my money is on another Camel. They have sold well and have been out a few years now so maybe it's time for WnW to crank those moulds over one more time? I notice nobody is predicting it's a French type, maybe we are all in for a surprise? Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXANTOMCAT Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I too think a Strutter is likely but would love a 504- so many options/markings/derivatives that the moulding tool would never have a chance to cool! TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggy4u Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Maybe a Comic Sopwith Camel nightfighter . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B I'm hoping for an Avro - given TVAL, Sir Peter's 1:1 aviation arm, has an airworthy original it seems a no-brainer. Re the French, folk online seem to thing WNW have something against French types. Despite the fact they've released the Salmson(sp?)...and their owner has an airworthy Hanriot... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
