Very interesting.

I went to a model engineering show a couple of months ago, and a guy was showing a model Jag v12 engine that was about the size of that v8. It's still a work in progress, but he's planning on having it running in time for a Jag owners club meeting in coming up in Mass.

I've been at one of those as well. Lots of really impressive stuff.

I like the scale merlin v12s they have been working on.
