Huberlu,
Absolutely beautiful on her engine my old friend. Your skills and craftsmanship of a Master shine through brightly. Keep up the excellence my old friend. I'm quite pleased to see someone do justice to this kit. I must admit this is the only kit I every tossed into the bin as unbuildible at least by me. Always wish I'd held on to it until my skills caught up to the kit.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Thank you !

Hello.

Someone can tell us if the "yellowish varnishes" which seems to cover these engines were applied consistently? I do not remember seeing it on other engines ...

I do not know the answer to your question but I certainly like the look and would do it to mine if I were building one

What a nice looking engine,the first picture looks like some sort of light stove enamelled colour.

That is a very attractive engine, sorry but I can't answer your question.

I think "yellow varnish" you refer to is probably cooked-on oil staining + effects of lighting/reflection and white balance setting on camera. HTH

Your engine is looking great!

Hello!

The engine mounting ends slowly ...

The cylinders are bonded in the holes. Missing bolts at the base of the cylinders.

Pipes are plastic, the collars are made of "cotton bud" stretched.

The copper tubing is stretched plastic.

24 candles are stretched plastic. I lost a few along the way. I also lost valve springs ...

The vertical rod at the back should be against the last cylinder. Too bad for her.
The aluminum structure is a cylinder on evergreen 1 mm rod with rings of metal tape.

The engine block is in "white aluminum" Alclad but it shines too. The matt varnish is nothing changed. Cylinders and are skated with him "engine grime" from AK.

Regards.
