I do have a SuperTiger .46 (ringed).  I bought it around 1980.
The engine was basically built very well, but it turned out to
have a bad casting in the piston so that there was some metal
missing underneath the piston and a tiny pinhole in the top of
the piston.  For a long time I couldn't figure out why it didn't
run right.
If you can get another piston for it, you got it made.  The engine
really looks like it's built strong.  Right now I don't think you
can buy parts for it from SuperTiger.
I do have an old Cox .049 Baby Bee.  It must be 25 years old or
something like that.
Well, neither of my engines are antiques, but let me know if you
are interested in either of them.  The SuperTiger has a nice carb
on it, too.  It uses the "half-moon" mounting system.
A few years ago someone gave me an old (and I mean *old*) K&B
.35 with a very old-style clarinet-type valve that covered the
exhaust stack when you throttled down.  Jeez, this thing must have
been one of their first R/C engines.  It was brand new, too.
Perfect compression--everything.  I don't remember what I did with
it.  I may have thrown it out or given it away.  I can look around
for it, though.  Might be tucked away somewhere.  I didn't think
anyone would ever want something like that.

If you had a Supre Tiger .40 CL Engine in running condition, I'd like it,
or a Cox FRV engine.
 
I'm mostly looking for the golden oldies.  The pride of my collection now
is an Anderson Spitfire .61 ignition.  I have several CL Forsters from the
early to mid '50s.

you need an oven temp of 400 degrees.. take the sheet of plastic and staple 
t
down to a wooden frame.. at least 1/3 larger than your mold.. put the plastic
in the oven. 15-20 seconds or until it starts to sag. place your mold on a
grill and quickly push the frame with the heated plastic over the mold and 
then
hit your vaccume.
