Many thanks to all of you for your kind and encouraging words!
After a rather long break from the workbench (I got a new job which had a major influence on the amount of my workbench time as well as modelling mojo) I decided to get back to the Camel.
To make a calm start, I began to work on the engine. As next to nothing will be visible eventually, I decided to omit the ribs on the cylinders this time (to be very honest, they are heavily out of scale on the Eindecker, I rather added them for the feeling).
As usually I used a paper template to glue the cylinders in place.
