The engine looks fantastic, Rizzo.  Especially with that gorgeous prop hanging on it.
Cheers,

I finally got the parts smooth enough for the alclad. Working with the printed resin has definately been my least favourite part of this build, but once it was done, the rest went together very quickly, and it's finally finished :) I'll post up some photos in the completed models section in a bit.

I did get a bit fed up with this one when I heard about the hasegawa kit that will be released soon, but thanks to you guys I did manage to keep my motivation going. But I'm glad it's done and I can move onto something new!



I'm also glad it's now cat proof too:
