Very nice Stefan. You used washers?

Thank you Bo. I drilled the drainage holes and then used washers to replicate the brass rings.

Stefan,
Your attention to detail is amazing! You are reminding me of bertl and Bo!

RagIII, thank you for the compliment - but I am aware in which league I am playing. Somewhere very much below the levels of Messiers Bo and Bertl.

Anyway, some progress has been made since last time:
Starting with a view of Schnucki's belly, including the fuel valve and some minor staining


we have a general view of her port side

with some details to show:

Oil splattering


the safety pins we were discussing about in some earlier postings

(diameter of those pins is 0,4mm)

One of the coolant pipes, which actually is hollow. The end will be very visible at the end so I could't use WNW'S part

It's more impressive in real life, as I didn't succeed to show the rubber fittings very well.

Anyway, I hope you like it.

Stefan

edit: After making the last photo, I realized the pipe was a bit unsatisfactory. The open end has been hollowed out a bit more, which looks much better (Outer diameter is 1,0mm; inner diameter is now 0,8mm).

The oil spattering on the windscreen is a nice touch. Well executed too.

Cheers,

Chris

That little detail caught my eye also and I agree with Chris totally!

Hello Stefan:

Outstanding workmanship and attention to detail.  I too like  your work on the prop covers.  This will certainly make an interesting diorama.

Best
