if you can....whilst waiting for either decals or washes to dry, broke this out.

Two V-8s end to end... Detroit Diesel for a big tractor rig? Maybe road construction equipment? That's a tough question, Lyle!

getting warm. Not a big rig.

Thats a 71 series? Detroit desiel 2 stroke v16?

Im not good with engines but a quick googles turned up a 16V-71.

Earlier inline models were used in the landing craft on D-day. The V models came in in the 50s and were used primary for big rigs, RV's, busses etc. Long hall highway vehicles.

Not a big rig, bus, etc. but I think you are headed in the right direction. Not military, either.

My guess is based off the color of your plastic which is AMT yellow to my mind—

Maybe marine use? But the fan confuses me.

Well crap…I was gonna say bulldozer engine.

I’ve done this one. Right general industry, though.
