Thanks Dave. Was only looking at those figures the other day. Will see....
Onto the engine next. This is going to need a fair bit of work to get a decent representation of the Bz.III motor. Given the high level of detail elsewhere, I'm a little disappointed as to how basic this motor is in places.
I've opted to ditch part E4 as it has the rocker rods moulded in situ - fortunately part E7 is on the sprue as a replacement without the rods....
The inlet pipes have basic clamps moulded on so am removing these and replacing them with lead foil. Also, the pipe assemblies, E11 & 12 need a bit of filler at the base to blend in with the crank case. I also had a little issue where the aperture for one side had an exytra piece of styrene in it preventing fitment so that had to be removed first. I'm adding some subtle cast texture with Mr Surfacer.
Perhaps the biggest disappointment is with with the rocker arms themselves. Absolutely no attempt at spring detail...
... so these will need to be reworked given their prominence right on top of the motor in full view. I've searched for some AM items without success so will have to scratch build most of the detail.
