Your engine looks great.
I think these blemish will be rather not visible to viewers, and only you know about them.  ;)

Really wonderful.....I think the clean up work you did on the cylinder seams is superb.

Cheers from NYC,

Hello Prez:

This is coming along nicely.  As usual your attention to detail is outstanding.  I too am doing this along with Chris, but am not posting a log as it is a slow go for me.  I will be following along with interest to see how you do your rigging.

Best

Really fantastic work, Prze!  The engine is a jewel, and the cockpit
really can't get much better.  I'm really enjoying your talents, as
usual! :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

I'll echo the others, Prz, that looks great so far!  I am glad to have the chance to watch you in action in 1/32 scale.

Many thanks, everybody, for your kind words.

Now the engine is mounted, fitted with some extras (generator drive belt, fuel line and double rigging in the bay behind it - all will be barly visible when the covers will be on). Again, probably because of my clumsiness or tight fit tolerances, I had to take extra measures - the exhaust pipes coming in threes in the kit had to be separated from the radiator, cut into separate 9 pieces and glued again - I could not get them close enough to their outlets from the cylinders.








I have also glued 124 eyelets for the rigging to the fuselage, wings, ailerons and tailplane.





Everything gets ready for painting!
