Nice work so far! Makes me want to start on mine... I like your brass replacement elevator frame -- the kit white metal parts are pretty atrocious imo....

Bo, since now we know you have a 1/16 D.Va in your stash... would you consider scaling up your Mercedes D.IIIa pieces to 1/16? You know every owner of this kit really NEEDS new engine parts. And new MGs, BTW

Oh Oh! now you've done it!  :o ;)
The question is cutaway or not cutaway & with or without bearing shells? Tapped sparkplug holes? You know Bo won't take no half measures.
