[WWI] Vector Resin WWI Engines

[Graham Hunter]

I am currently working on the Special Hobbies Pfalz D.XII with plans on
mounting the Vector engine. I will let you know how it fits. I have already
made new cowl panels [vacuformed over the kit fuselage halves and trimmed]
so I have extra room now that the panels are more to scale than kit. The
Vector Mercedes is so nice that if it does not fit I will mount it on an
engine cart and build it as a stand alone model. I have not compared the
Special Hobbies D.III to the Eduard D.III but I think it is smaller. The
Roden D.III engines are the correct size. In fact I stole the Mercedes from
the D.VII kit I had to use in the Pfalz, but it got lost in a move of my
work table to a new room. As far as fitting Eduard kits I think it will be
doable with some thinning of the engine cowls. Now the Vector Mercedes will
fit Roden kits easily as they are the same size as kit engine.

So, what's the consensus on the Vector Mercedes?  Will it fit the Eduard
kits without major problems?
