Thanks for the positive comments everyone, I've cleaned up some more engine parts and will have pictures soon.
I agree on both counts Mark! I am beginning to be a little afraid of my abilities to build this one

Rick,
Brother I feel your pain. I have doubts about being able to do this awesome kit justice as well.
Highest Regards,

The small parts really aren't that bad to deal with at all. Each one is easy to remove from the casting block and each one has a tab for assembly.
Remember that some of them won't even be seen on the final build especially if you go with a full cowling. The back of the engine won't be seen even with the partial cowling.
