So I needed a bit of a break from ribs, wings, brackets and framework so I built the engine for my Pup. It's not the Wingnut version, so the original kit parts are still unused.
Instead, I chose the incredible Taurus Models resin Gnome Monosoupape 9. This proved to not really be a break at all! It was probably the most difficult, fiddly model I've built to date, but the pain involved it is worth it. I now have even more respect for Lukasz and Bertl than I already had! I followed Bertl's great build tutorial for the similar Oberursel UI and made the same small adjustments with the push rods, etc. that he did. If it's OK, here is a link to his build:
