[WWI] 1/72 engine cylinders

[Magnus Berggren]

Anther approach is to put a piece of styrene sprue in your dremel or any 
standard drill, and then turn the fins with a tool of your choice. I made 
this for the cylinders of a Clerget a couple of years ago. I was quite 
satisfied with the results, until I got one of the Vector resin 
engines.......
