Amazing work on that engine!

 

[Shinpachi]

Ha-43-42 engine for J7W1 seems to have been modified largely from Ha-43 aka Mitsubishi A20.
Its appearance would have been almost like this.

Looks like God's own leaf blower.

Lovely work so far shinpachi!

 

[Shinpachi]

Exhaust pipes are attached.
This has been a long way.
Thanks.

Listed as: Mitsubishi Ha 42 Model 41 Ru (Ha 214 Ru), Radial 18 Engine
As a volunteer at Smithsonian, I helped prepare this engine as it was being sent to Japan on loan for a museum display. I don't know which museum there. Reminded me of a 3350 with dual Daimler/Jumo type superchargers.

I forgot to add that I have seen the center fuselage with the wings over at Garber many years ago.

Thanks for your information, Tony.
That engine is now displayed at the Kakamigahara Air and Space Museum.

As far as I have researched so far, this is sole picture of the Ha-43-42 beside several simple drawings.
If more should be available, I would be grateful.

Shinpachi, is that a fuel tank seen surrounding the output shaft housing?

Thanks Dave.
There is a lublicant oil cooler.
Shape is unknown.

 

[GrauGeist]

Ahh, ok, this makes sense - radials do require a large amount of oil.

Thank you, Shinpachi-san!

Just rummaged a bit through this thread, very interesting stuff. Love seeing the progress!

Would any of these help? I know you used one, perhaps the other two are not just straight up copies?

I can't tell exactly without checking but all these three look same.
Thanks for your cooperation, Jim
