My you have got off to a flying start! The engine looks most impressive and certainly looks as though it has had a few hours in the air. The problems you listed at the start are mere trivia for a modeller with your skills.

Wonderful start, Mike,
I am very happy to see this kit made by you. Allways straved around this one but first wanted to see it build by someone with good skills.
I think this will be an absolute stunner....as allways by you ;-)
Bye,
Manni

Hi all,
The engine is now completed.
I've added the ignition leads and spark plugs, timing mechanism, oil filler caps, water pump and coolant pipe, vale levers and springs and carburettor lever.
I've also made the exhaust pipes from 1.8 mm diameter brass tube mounted onto 1.4 mm tube - the kit items had 'solid' bores.
Test fitted into its mounting frames.

Mike

Mike!  It's not really sportsmanlike to post photos of a real engine and claim that it's your 1/32 scale model.  Honestly, I expected so much more from you. 
(magnificent work as always, mate)

Cheers,
Bud

If that actually is the case, then I'm more impressed by the enormous white paper on which the real engine rests...
