     With the exception of a few touch ups and adding the Oil Tank filler spouts I believe I can call the engines done. The right or starboard engine is fully enclosed in the nacelle with all cowling panels in place.







     The left side (Port) engine has only the bottom of the nacelle installed, a configuration not included in the Kit options which required some modifications to the supporting strut attachments and mounting of the inner frame structure. These aircraft were flown with some or even all panels of the nacelles removed in numerous combinations.







   ...... and last the oil tank (sans filler pipe) on the Port Engine:



    The next steps in the Kit Instructions call for completion of the tailplane and the landing gear however I plan to complete all the drilling and eyelets for the rigging prior to that. I think I'll keep plugging away at this in lieu of a break on the Clerget Camel for a bit longer as the "mojo" is still strong.

Cheers,
Lance

Not yet!
But I am working in that direction, and you will be able to add some details to your engine when I get started . The tachometer cable is one right off the bat...oh, and you thought you were done!

Andreas and Dave,
    Thanks very much for looking her over and for your too kind but much appreciated words. I've been slowly working at the landing gear, cabanes, those pesky prop guards and some of the rigging drilling in between bouts of yard work. It's amazing what a mess you discover where all the snow used to be ....... :o
Cheers,
Lance

Those engines are amazing. An inspiration for me to keep going on my single and less complex - phew - engine on the LVG.

Cheers
