Hi all,
The engine is as complete as I can get it.
I've added some details:

Ignition leads support tubes
Ignition leads
Valve gear push rods
Cylinder fuel primers
Float chamber fuel supply
Magneto spark advance rod
Throttle control rod
Carburettor interconnection rod and levers
Rear engine pipes and tachometer drive.
Coolant pipe through cylinder bases
Coolant supply pipe from water pump.

The engine controls will be attached to the fuselage/cockpit later in the build.
Now onto the fuselage,

Mike

Your modesty is admirable Mike, but I think this is an award winning model in itself!  :o

Mike,

Beautiful Benz.  I am going to do a second 1/72 J.I.  I'm definitely going to install a full engine and try to trick it out like yours as much as my abilities will allow.  Thanks for sharing the detail shots.

Hi all,
The basic fuselage internals are done.
Although no rigging is necessary I have added the rudder and elevator control lines.
I've also added extra fuel pipes to the main fuel tank and the 'Telefunken' wireless aerial wire, wrapped around the spool on the set in the gunners cockpit.
Finally the two filler caps on the right side forward from the pilots cockpit - I assume these were for fuel and coolant.
I've not fitted the two aileron control rods from the cockpit as they can be easily broken during subsequent handling.
I've tested and they can be fitted later but before the engine is finally fitted.
The engine shot below is test fitted only.

Mike
