Have had this engine (1/32) in the stash for some time . This group will be the encouragement I needed to build it.

Excellent entry, my friend @firelockg! Looking forward to it!

Spiros, I am a little apprehensive with this kit, many of the parts are so tiny and fragile, but we shall see.

@firelockg Ian that is an awesome looking kit! Can’t wait to see what you do with it…I may get one myself 😉

So we begin,

Pic .1.Crankcase and cylinders separated from the printing base.

Pic .2. Crankcase with engine back plate fitted and glued on. The engine back plate is only .5mm thick at the perimeter and was removed from the printing base with a razor saw, as will all the parts in this kit.

Pic .3. Cylinders fitted.

Pic .4. engine airbrushed with Vallejo 69 063 steel .

Pic .5. Small engine parts hand painted prior to fitting, should be lots of "fun", many of the parts have a spare or two, kit manufacturer must expect some to take off.

hopefully Spiros I will not need them , but it is good insurance.
