James,
    I find the colours very striking, I went back through your post to find what paint(s) you're using and couldn't..............what are the details on your green, mauve, and underside blue?
   Almost complete and very much a "winner"!
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks Lance. The colours are the ones called out by WNW. I mixed Tamiya paints for the mauve as listed, X16 + XF52 in 2:1, or there abouts.
The light blue is their suggestion also of XF23 and AF2 at 50:50ish.

Very little work done this week or weekend. I dremmeled out the end of the exhaust with a small ball bur and drilled out the tiny tubr at the exhaust also. Started painting. I tried to make the attachment bolts for the heads but I didnt do too well and you probably cant see them anyways. I have piston rods cut and will install when the cylinders are installed. The exhaust was NATO Black then hand painted Vallejo steel then a was or two or three of Vallejo track primer. Still more work needed. Hope I can get this engine done soon so I can finish up the build.

James, I am sorry for your loss. I hope you can get back to your Junkers build because it is a masterpiece. Your wood treatment is superlative and your handling of the corrugated surfaces is brilliant!

Thank you all. Its a bit of a struggle but I'm almost there. I decided to bring some tools up to the dining room table and do some work. Got gun and ring installed and engine and hoses before my arm gave out. Just the prop to finish and the controls to rig and she's done. So close now.
