On Tuesday March 20th, Dreweatts and Bloomsbury Auctions are offering three examples of finely engineered Vi scale models of early rotary and radial engines used in aeroplanes from both the First and Second World War. Dreweatts' Transport Sale at Apseley Rd, Bristol, UK encompasses around 300 lots ranging from locomotives, traction engines and boats to related reference books and model engines. It is however, the three model aero engines from the early days of flying that will set the pulses of international collectors (and institutions) racing. The extraordinary craftsmanship and attention to detail of all three models is superb, each was painstakingly built by a retired English engineer and each is estimated to fetch between £5,000-£7,000 ($7,900-$ 11,000 US).
