A few more future releases.

I just bought four of them, one for me and some for friends. I am hoping Atlantis got the rights to the Renwal R-1340 1/4 kit and they will release that. I have a Williams Bros 1/8 scale R-1340 Wasp kit as well. Hobby Lobby had all their kits on sale 40% off a while back and I bought the Atlantis Allison Turboprop, formerly Renwal.

The only model engines I know of that are of similar scale are automotive engines, such as the V-8 and Wankel from Renwal and the 1/8 scale Chevy V-8 from Monogram. I do not think any of those kits are currently in production.
 
Some airplane kits come with an engine. Examples include the old Monogram 1/32 F-51D Phantom Mustang, the Revell 1/32 P-40E, Spitfire I, BF-109F, Hurricane II, Typhoon 1B, and the older Dragon and later Revell 1/32 P-51D. Those are pretty rudimentary engines on those kits, though, as in consisting of about two pieces plus two for the exhausts.
 
I was given a pine coffee table so I thought I may get a couple of 1/48 aircraft to make and put under a glass top. or added interest I was thinking
engines in a larger scale to put on the sides of the planes to show what went in them. One day.
 
There are a few 1/48 airplanes that come with engines. The only WWII aircraft example I can think of right now is the Fujimi P-51D, a kit which gets a pretty bad review in the Detail and Scale book, but the unbuilt example I have looks quite nice. The Hawk T-33A and the UPC 1/50 F-86D have engines that can be removed as well. That kind of thing would be good for inside a coffee table because it is difficult to find a place where you can present one with the panels all opened but where it can be protected and not collect dust.
