It's just a shame it's compressed air powered and not fuel (as far as I can tell)

Although I did see someone say elsewhere that surely the cam timing is out, as the sprockets are the same size between cam & crank, and shouldn't the cams turn at half the speed of the crank?

Still a marvel of model making - oh to have the patience, skills and hand-eye coordination! I lack at least three of those things..

It's effectively a 2 stroke, though. It doesn't need to be 4 stroke to run on air.

I can't help thinking that it would have been no more, perhaps less, of a challenge to make a full size one. Then you could at least drive it instead of watching it.
