I was tempted with the V8, but this one was the cheapest :bag:

Yeah... they are pricey. Glad you got the radial aircraft engine.

That’s neat. I have the visible v-8. Not in the same class, though.

Seriously cool, John. But all those parts together in three hours? You'll never get the valve lash set in three hours, I'll bet!

Oh wow, that's really cool. And quite educational during the build I guess.

Got this off of Ebay. I may try to open the bow, etc.

At the show, I did get another old, AMT truck...a set of files and a jim-dandy holder for the Tamiya cement bottle. Floki made these and had a table selling them. Neat stuff.

So far, it is working.

I love how Lyle said that glue holder is working "so far". As if he's tried to knock it over already. :giggles:

Got these today. Two containers to carry models to shows. Way better than the cardboard box I had.
