Very nice work on that engine, Adam. I like how you tackled the ignition wires and also the rocker arms - beautiful.
Cheers,
Gary

Adam, may I ask you what kind of red wiring you used for your engine that still makes me envious every time I look at it?
Best wishes
Borsos

This is a cable from the electrical coil, when connected to a spark plug was painted.
I thank my friends for your opinions.  ;D

And now the relation with what I did.
Preparation for shading wings.





Encouraged good your opinions I bought decals AVIATTIC.
They look great but are very demanding in applying.
I recommend you read the manual before gluing and not during the gluing, as I did.





And now result.



All the plates were painted silver to make them scratched later.



Now it's time for the exhaust pipe. So far I've done models with rotary engines but they have not have such pipes.
Someone here gave his method of painting exhaust pipes, but I can't remember who, sorry.  :-[
 I remembered a little of this, and I present what I done.



At the beginning I did a test on the pipe from the right.









The exhaust pipe connected to the engine looks so.







To be continued.  ;D

Adam.

Adam,
    Great progress, the engine is some very nice work, the oil staining and "dirtying" are superbly done. Looking forward to seeing more progress on this beauty!
Cheers,
Lance

Fantastic built! I'm still very impressed by this engine in particular.

The engine is a gorgeous model on it's own, Adam.  Looking
forward to the next updates, my friend.  By the way, you
did a terrific job of the engine's supporting "box"!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thank you for your kind words, my friends.
A lot of time has passed since my last post.
Many business travel slowed work on this model.
Lack of time did not allow a mine to show pictures of the construction of the model, I'm very sorry.  :'(
The fuselage is painted and decals are affixed.









The rudder is ready.



Now it's time to complete the fuselage.



















Now my Fokker got the engine and radiator. Pictures will be soon.

My Polish colleagues asked me not to hide the engine behind covers.
Therefore, I decided to make a small diorama, I will be doing it the first time.  :o
I bought from my colleague, known here set Aviattic's WW1 German crew refueling and fuel WW1 German cart.
The project of it I have in my mind.  ;) but I'll be asking for yours help also.

Adam.
