    Your Griffon turned out beautifully, my friend @gwskat! Looking absolutely superb, very detailed. Loved the way you routed the copper wiring!
    Thank you so much for entering your Griffon to the Aeroengines GB, which steadily becomes enriched with gorgeous looking engines.
    Congratulations!

    Thanks, Spiros @fiveten
    I'm glad I was able to contribute to this build.
    I will be adding some more detail to the engine but that will happen when I add the engine to airframe.

    Wait! Bonus addition to the "completed" build:

    Added the valve cover Rolls-Royce name and symbol using individual letter decals. For added support at assembly I added a rod which will insert into the firewall.

    So I went to test fit the Griffon to the airframe and I realized I had the carb/injector unit on upside down...Oooops!
    Oh well...popped 'er off and re-added back correctly. Now it fits! Funny how that works...LOL

    Lovely model,,,,there is a stand mounted Griffon atthe Palm springs museum,,,,next to the "do not touch" sign,,,Of course I touched one of the braided plug wires which proceeded to fall off the plug to my horror and shame,,
