A few photos of the first Liberty engine models I have built. The second one is about 95% done.They are 1/4 scale models of Gar Wood's 500 HP TS-26 Liberty Marine conversion with Miller carburetors. I am building 10 total in all.

It looks like the model will be of Miss America V, not number one, as Gar Wood didn't have this style water cooled exhaust until boat number five.

The engine is a bit over 22" long, 14" high and 9" wide. The model weighs slightly over 12 lbs. not counting the oak stand.
