Almost hurts to look at it like this.

Looks like an upside- down Jumo 213.

Yup. Wonder how many of these are still around.

Off a Ju-88? Or FW?
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

That's supposedly a 213A, so I'm pretty sure it's out of a Dora. Kind of hard to tell, but I believe the Dora's were more closely cowled than the Ju 188's. Thinking that's part of the supercharger on the rear.

What do you guys think?

I think it'd be cheaper just to build one from scratch.

Hard to tell which plane the Jumo 213 in the first picture is from. I think the radiator and engine were manufactured together and were not aircraft specific.

The engine in yellow 10, an Fw 190D-13, is actually a Jumo 213F (possibly the only one left). The 213F was similar to the 213A, but had a different supercharger like the Jumo 213E in the Ta 152H which gave it significantly better high altitude performance than the 213A.


Edit: After looking at pictures of Jumo 213 engined Ju-88s and -188s it does look like the fighter installation of the 213 is more closely cowled.
Also, that looks like the White 1 foundation's Jumo 213 http://www.white1foundation.org

I don't know engines well, but I'd have to say that looks to me like its out of a 109D now that I look hard at it- its got the big blower on the back, AND its exhaust stacks look more 190-ish than they do Ju-esque.

I've seen it, I think at the LEMB.  It's some engine bought for some restoration, can't recall what exactly.  Had this image saved last year with the details in the exif, but lost it with an hdd crash.

That is the White 1 foundation's Jumo 213. I used Yellow 10 because 1) it's the best picture I know of, and 2) Yellow 10 is just plain gorgeous (BTW, moot hates the paint scheme, so I guess skill & taste don't necessarily go hand in hand :D).

I'd love to have the D-13 in game, not just for the better high-alt performance, but mainly for the triple MG 151/20 cannons. Besides, we already have the skin courtesy of Edbert.

Ha.. I still can't believe that's a WWII scheme and not something out of a modern day fashion catalog. :lol
