The others have said it all! Your painting on this engine is FANTASTIC and looks awesome in the cowling!

Outstanding work on the engine, George!  Cowled, it looks every bit as good as the Taurus.
Cheers,
Bud

A bit more progress...

Thanks again for all the nice comments about the engine. I was kind of bummed about the Taurus, but I feel much better about the LeRhone now! :D

I finished the frame of the tail surfaces, minus the PE control horns and brackets.






I also started in the fuselage frame made from 1/32 square brass bars. I first designed templates in 3d to insure I get the correct side and bottom profiles.






I then built the templates out of 1mm thick cardboard, formed and taped the brass to it, and soldered it together.








And finally, it's starting to look like an airplane!




Thanks,
George
