It's a collectively self-applied label. In it's strictest sense,
someone buying kits, machining according to blueprints, and assembling
an engine or model wouldn't qualify.
The work of some model engineers however, truely rivals anything
from the "official" engineering diciplines, and are often accomplishd by
folks with no formal engineering background.
An example would be the fellow that built a scale running model of a
Roll Royce Merlin V-12, with no formal training as a machinist,
engineer, or designer.
