Here is a really detailed look at the engine and how it fits.
That's really outstanding information!

Many many thanks Bruce!

STAY SAFE !

I have trouble keeping these projects separate but I respect your commitment and integrity to work on more than one subject at a time, Kari.
I think about burn out reasons a lot.
I believe making a pair of projects offers the mind a way to slide between interests. Both kits are really splendid.
I also think in your hands that both kits benefit from your level of realism—which is very well judged at scale. Too often a scale “scrape or scratch” would be major damage if viewed at 1:1. The marks you make are reasonable; the variations in surface levels are reasonable as well.
Fine work, fine scale, superb craft.

Thanks Bruce for your feedback and kind words!

Two simultanious builds I can still handle fairly well, especially as they both belong to same era, sort of brothers.
