I suppose while tolerances would have been a bit hard to deal
with, with a good lathe and mill, or better yet, a CNC one, it
shouldn't have been too hard. I'm curious, did they also keep the
thread scale on the nuts n bolts too?
and if everything is to scale, technically u should have a working,
actual flying model of the thing. Even if u couldn't fit in to fly
it, the engine should be able to run.
still its an amazing work of art.
