AM 10 and 15 by Premier Engineering
A while ago, I posted details of the AM10 and Surfer_Kris replied with this picture
Again, more variations. These are the later builds and one of these has a glow head. As Surfer_Kris mentioned the glow version is not a very good runner. I have seen this before with quite a few diesel to glow conversions where just the head has been swapped. The venturi on a diesel is often a tad smaller than a glows requirements.
I was also puzzled because, at the time, I had the later AM15 with the RC venturi but as the heads were no longer coloured - I wondered how you tell the AM10 and 15 apart,
It is obvious if you have the 15
The silencer is a little restrictive and the 15 runs quite hot with perfomance diesel fuel.

Re: AM 10 and 15 by Premier Engineering
Brings back memories. In 1958 I purchased my first "Diesel" engine, a Frog 150. Two years later an AM 15 with a blue head which seemed a better engine than the Frog. Later, I had a Sabre 2.5cc which was the fore runner of Australian "Taipan" engines. Memories!!! All those are gone now replaced with about 30 COX engines!

The fin spacing looked subtly different between the .10 and the .15...
