That engine is indeed a gem, and as mentioned before, would look great displayed alone on a stand.

John, what method did you use to "flatten" those tires? Those areas look very well done and quite consistent.

Thank you, Gary! I used coarse sandpaper (320#) taped to a piece of glass from a photo frame. And then rubbed the wheel over the sandpaper, careful to keep the orientation uniform during each stroke.
More shots of the engine...

Man that engine looks good! Very realistic!"Surely I have made my meaning plain? I intend to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I have deprived your ship of power, and when I swing 'round, I intend to deprive you of your life."

Thanks guys!
Playing around with cowling guns... I've drilled the cooling holes and added a wire.
The seat is finished with the 1/48 scale harnesses. The cockpit tub has been given a base coat of RLM 66 Dark Grey and chipped a little with hairspray but still needs more paint work.

I love radial engines and this thing looks incredible.
