Thanks Juan! I've had a chance to really sit down with the kits over the last few days and get to know them, the parts, decals and instructions etc, and I'm really excited to start.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for all of the great comments! I sincerely appreciate the support on this undertaking! First of all, let me apologize for any poor pictures, I'm also using these builds to get better at my picture taking and hope to learn more about my camera.

I separated the engine parts into a container and got all of my drills out...............



I've also made engine stands out of styrene because there are a lot of small parts and I don't want them laying on their sides at any point......



The cylinders.............





The back of the engine........................







The front of the engine........................







Dry fitting shows the parts go together EXTREMELY well! Every part has a tab or a locating hole for accuracy. More cleanup and I'll have some more pictures soon.

Thanks!
Mark
