Of all things in modeling, whether it be aircraft or autos, interiors/ pits and engines are my favorite two to look at and work with. There's just so much striking detail in this pit and that engine is gonna turn out splendid Steve. Can't wait for more bud.

Thank you Mustang my friend
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

I finished and mounted the engine in the cowl and then dry fit the cowl onto the fuselage.
I used thin glue to rough up the non-skid area of the wings but haven't finished painting them yet.

I also failed to mention that Storch! What a camo! Good gravy! That was spot on. As is this latest project.

Make more models!

Thank you Bruce,
I assembled the wings and attached them to the fuse. I still have much to do installing the PE and rigging before finishing it up. I'm going to take a few days break on it and go back to the Prince of Wales.

Steve, that is one beautiful build. The Swordfish as well as the Henschel 123 are planes with a unique character.
Both at the very end of the biplane era.
