Hello Adam:

Glad to see you back feeling better and sharing your work.  Truly outstanding on the engine.  The shading looks good as well on both brothers.  I am looking forward to seeing how  you progress through this build.  As has been mentioned, the cowling will need to be trimmed.  Aviattic has some resin cowlings in scale thickness that might save you some grief if you are so inclined.

Best

Mark

My friends thank you very much for your kind words.  :)
In fact, the engine made by Łukasz  is a small masterpiece.
I  only glued parts together, damaging a few parts  :P and  I painted this engine.  ;)
Now are waiting for me serious work on the matching cover to the motor, the motor diameter is greater than the internal diameter of its cover.
How this works, then I will have another challenge, fixing ignition cables.

Adam.

Congratulations Adam on an absolutely amazing job of the Oberusel engine. It just
doesn't get much better than that. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of your
build come together...if this is any indication, it will be a masterpiece.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Ernie and Dan thank you.  :)

I began to put the decals. I've never had to deal with such large decals. I think it went well.  ;)
Out of curiosity to see how is looking my model I fitted a wing, elevator, etc. without glue.

Great work sir. Check out the boys at Aviattic. They produce engine cowlings for the Taurus engines.

Thank you very much for your kind words.  :)
Paul, thank you for this information, but he will try to improve the original cover, but if it does not work, then I will buy this cover.

Yesterday Mr postman dropped it into my mailbox this.  ;D
