It is turning into a masterpiece like the preceding models
Did you add details inside the cockpit?
A very nice model from the start.

Thank you Ermeio for your very kind comments, I have not started the cockpit yet but when I do I will be adding as much detail as possible.

While waiting for oil paints to dry I added a few more bits and pieces to the engine, all that is needed now are the two magnetos which are at the moment jetting their way from the states, hopefully I will have them by the end of the week.

Hi Des.

I've been looking forward to viewing close up pix of your enhanced engine.
I expected your results to be excellent, of course,  :)  but all those little extra details have elevated
the original to stardom. Very nice indeed!

That engine is truly spectacular, Des!  Looks like I left a few bits off when I built mine.
Cheers,
Bud
