WW1 Mercedes D.III Inline 6 Dummy Engine (Top Mount)

The Mercedes D.III, or F1466 as it was known internally, was a six-cylinder SOHC valvetrain liquid-cooled inline aircraft engine built by Daimler and used on a wide variety of German aircraft during World War I.[1] The initial versions were introduced in 1914 at 160 hp, but a series of changes improved this to 170 hp in 1917, and 180 by mid-1918. These later models were used on almost all late-war German fighters, and its only real competition, the BMW III, was available only in very limited numbers. Compared to the Allied engines it faced, the D.III was generally outdated. IMPORTANT: Please measure your airplane before checkout as typically most model aircraft run smaller than the true scale which these motors are based on. Do not order based on the scales alone.  Commonly Found in Aircraft Such As: AEG C.IV AGO C.I Albatros C.I Albatros C.III Albatros C.XIII N Albatros D.II Albatros D.III Albatros D.V/D.Va Albatros L 57 Albatros W.4 Aviatik C.I Aviatik C.III Daimler L11 Daimler L14
