Its a bear at times but the only real issues I came across was the Cabane struts fitting.... other than that it flew together.  had it done in roughly 2 weeks.




Ye Gods! I built this kit when it came out (well, 1958, actually). You're doing a great job, Radio. Much better than that 13 year old I once knew! <G> Good luck with the rest of your build!  :D
Cheers!

The engine down to the paint and finished spark plug wire.
The suction side is also ready so far.
The hood inner thin sanded and brought forward the middle hole to correct size.

Beautiful engine Martin! Nice work on thinning down that cowling and changing the opening.

Hi Martin , I must say . Your scratch building skills have really improved over the past couple of builds , Well done and that engine is looking sharp . Looking forward to seeing her painted up .

Thank you very much for your compliments, Terri, Scott and Ernie.
Painting must wait for one or two days, because my wife need some wood sticks for her christmas bakery . Cut it for the right lenght and clear painting.
Cheers

You have done a great job with the engine Martin, and the work you did on the engine cowl is excellent.
