1/6 Scale Engines

[THarrison351]

I pulled these out of storage and cleaned them up and it got me to thinking if anyone else collected or built these large scale engines. When I was a kid  i had the electric see through V-8 my dad built and I acquired a Chrysler slant six that apparently is fairly valuable today. Both of those are long gone, but it hasn't stopped me from building or collecting these a few years back. I believe all of them might have their roots in Liberty Classics when they're purchased as a completed diecast The exceptions might be the SRT Hemi and Ford Flathead.

1946 Ford V8 Flathead from Hawk Models. Came as a kit. Pain in the derriere to assemble.

1964 Ford 427 From Revell. Came as a kit. The only one that is all plastic, but shares many parts with the 427 SOHC. Air cleaner is removable to reveal fairly detailed carburetors. Plug wires were very fiddly.

1965 Dodge A-990 426 Hemi NASCAR race engine from Testors Lincoln Mint. Came as a kit and was really nice to build.

1965 Dodge 426 Hemi Dragster from Liberty Classics. Came assembled and was the first one I purchased. Would have been nice if the butterflies opened on the bug catcher scoop.

1966 Ford 427 SOHC from Revell. Came as a kit and was really nice to build. Air cleaner is removable to reveal fairly detailed carburetors.

1966 Dodge 426 Street Hemi from Testors Lincoln Mint. Came as a kit and was really nice to build. Air cleaner is removable, but the carburetors are simple.

1966 Ford 427 SOHC Dragster from Liberty Classics. Came assembled and was the second one I purchased. Would have been nice if the butterflies opened on the bug catcher scoop.

2010 Dodge SRT Hemi 6.1 from Hawk Models. Came assembled and was the last one I purchased. Physically the smallest one of the group. I'm not sure if it's to scale.

Really appreciate your posting these engines Tim.  I had not seen them assembled before and they make impressive displays.
