Once again, my Amigo and I are in complete agreement!

Very nice.
Are those plug wires in a 'live' state?
ie: Still flexible?
I've been looking at a dozen threads of engine work ,concentrating on rockers and magnetos.
Lots of ways to do things.

Wow, the engine looks great!  Your extra efforts have really paid off.

    Thanks for your much appreciated comments Guys.
    Steve, if you mean does the fishing string still have it's "memory" it's a yes. Every time I look at it it's coiled a different way, which is why I won't be trying this little trick a second time! I'll live with it as is though..........
Cheers,

   Thank you Giuseppe, frankly it's nice to have them basically complete and I'm looking forward to getting on with the rest of the Build.
Cheers,

Hi Lance, I'm just catching up a bit here - your ambitious build is really taking shape. I'm so impressed with the lozenge scheme and battered finish on the paintwork. After seeing this one in Ottawa I can understand why you want to build it! Ran into a similar situation when we saw British Mk IV tank "Deborah" recently near Cambrai - picked up the Takom model and am again diverted from that Bristol Fighter build I started a year ago...
Cheers,

Gary,
    You've been very quiet of late, how was your trip to Europe? Sounds like it rekindled your passion for heavy iron land subjects. I hope I get to see the Mk. IV in Edmonton in June at the Regional Contest and we can catch up on the year's highlights.
   It's been a year of battered paint work alright. Between this Build and MacLaren's LeRhone Camel I'm keeping the hairspray and chipping compound producers busy!
Cheers,
Lance

Lance,

I've found that the Modelkasten rigging line works fairly well for spark plug leads.  I find it easier to work with than wire, and it takes paint well. 

You have accomplished some incredible work on this kit to date.  I have a bad tendency to just look at all the posts and not comment on builds, but I will try to get better in the future.

    Thanks for your comment Bill, Modelkasten was my back up plan but I only had the thinner of the two versions and thought it might be too fine. I'll have to order the thicker version and give it a try.
Cheers,
Lance

Been catching up Lance - please would you now be kind enough to post some photos of the engine of your model? If you were to put fuel and oil into that one it would start up and turn the propellor!

Stephen.

Great work Lance. When I do get to  the bench its motors I find that bog me down. You have persevered and created great looking engines.

Steve

[lcarroll]

   Thanks Stephen. I appreciate your comment as I always struggle with adding too much wear & tear, grime etc and worry about over doing it. My goal is always to produce a used and "real" look; I truly appreciate a bright clean build however, and believe it's ultimately harder to do well.
   As for the motors, Steve, I agree, and this time was no exception.
Cheers,
Lance
