Nice to see you back in the saddle! Love the scheme and markings on this one - I think I might have to add something like this to my collection.

Thank you @fiveten. Good to be back @gkittinger, it is a nice bunch of colors. @holzhamer, perhaps I can stall the rest till July, then it will have been 2 years! (it started out in the kindergarten). I just need to load a few pictures, and then the last post on this one will come (except a photoshoot one day when the sun is out)

Excellent result, Erik @airbum
The splinter is fantastic and also how the detailed engine is shown is fantastic.
First time I see a kit showing the bottom side of the engine exposed.

The sun was out

and so was Friedrich from Spain!

With the sun insisting on a few pictures I rushed to add a few of the missing pieces. And then it was out to click away

I got some help, not only from the sun!

next up I may even have a rod or three installed (they need to be installed in the radiators too) and another sunny day – so all in all I can not call this finished yet – close, but no cigar!

Love the result so far, my friend @airbum!
