In 1/24 the 240Z motor would be the same length as the S20 Skyline engine I tried (from a '72 Skyline) and it's way to big...the Auster has a really short engine bay.

What 510 did you do? The Revell one? Hehe..I'll have a lot of spare parts for one of those now I've stolen the chassis for this kit One day I'll do a proper BRE 510 but the thought of all those decals and that paintjob puts me off...it'd be so easy to mess up on that one
