Daimler-Mercedes D.III
« on: July 28, 2018, 06:38:52 PM »
Spent the day putting this little beauty together - destined for a Roland C.II. WnW kit with Taurus Models conical springs and spark plugs and I used surgical tape (medipore) to replicate the asbestos lagging. Acrylics, enamels and oils add some colour...

Spent a day!? I now feel ashamed by how little I got done today...An absolutely amazing engine by you all the same.

   Gary,
      I'd consider results like this spectacular with my lightning like pace of building in a week or more. Very nicely done and impressive to say the very least!

Fill in some fuel and it will run! Beautiful engine, 1/32 seems to be a nice scale to show all the details.
