I got the drawings and made scale drawings in /35th. I can easily construct all but the engine. Does anyone know of a 1/35th scale Russian M 11 aircraft engine?. Not impossible to build, but still very small. I only care about it because it's so visible on the model.

I think you're out of luck in the 1/35 scale. If you can live with an engine in 1/32; then my suggestion would be the M-11 engine that comes in Trumpeter's 1/32 kit of the Yak-18 trainer aircraft. Yak-18 also used the Shvetsov M-11, and the Trumpeter kit comes with an excellent engine that is a small kit in its own right. Furthermore, the design of the cowling should allow building the kit without the engine, so you may be able to obtain an unused engine from a modeler that just decided to close the engine cowling up. I would ask around at aircraft modeling sites like Hyperscale and ARC.

Hope this helps,

Vector also does an engine 1/32, I think there was an eastern company that sold an M-11 in 1/35 for some strange reason . I will ask a friend that may just have one, where it came from.
