wondefull wonderfull wonderfull! I will be watching this with pop corn and beer from the first row :) Recently I found your Gotha GV conversion that had an unfortunate ending and I was amazed by the skill, effort and techniques you put into the build, so I expect no less from this one, BUT with happy ending this time :)
Best regards and keep up the good work,
Sasho

Absolutely fantastic work. The engine is a little marvel - no wonder it has taken a while to build it! Do keep us posted on future progress.

Hi Ron!

I'm also planning to build Balilla in similar scale (1/33) but using veneer and japanese paper (or maybe canvas) so I'll be watching Your work. Engine looks great! What paint scheme are You planning for Your Balilla?

Finaly can post some progress the engine is almost finished just a few more parts to be made:















Fuselage is redone 3 times until i was happy, hard to make this one but its spot on according to the factory drawings i got from italy.
If you conpare them to the data file drawings they are different then the factory ones so beware using them in scratch build projects.









Here i started to make a mold for resin top using styrene plastic, it has to be right the first time since the mold cant be used again.


here is the mold complete and filed with resin and placed in a pressure chamber to get the air bubbles out.




Here is the finished block of resin witch will be shaped accordingly lots of sanding and scraping so respirator on since resin is not good for the lungs







Here drawn a template on the comp and glued it with contackt glue on the resin block then shaped the top and sanded smooth.


Getting there next up tail wings.
