Thank you all kindly, folks -
Next update:
Completed the engine. I intend to have the cowling panels closed up on this one so have not gone overboard on detail. I've just added small bits that will be visible. Therefore added spark plugs (stretched sprue), ignition leads (bronze brown cotton thread) and the tubing/plumbing thing at the very front of the engine.
Whilst waiting for the engine components to set/dry, made up the formers for the engine mount. To ensure this all aligned correctly, dry mounted inside the fuselage half.
Once all had set, fitted the completed engine in the mount and then glued all into the slots in the fuselage. Dry mounting paid off here as it simply sat into place nice and snug without too much shunting about to get a good fit.
I then left this set for a bit before finally glued on the other fuselage half - everything fitted nicely.
I have not left this all this to set over night. Tomorrow I will tidy up the join before applying some model filler.
More to follow in due course.
Regards
Dave
