SPA Modeler

Now that the "stepped on" part has been replaced, and I've completed the winter 109, I can get back to this beauty of a kit.

Here's the kit...



And some AM goodies...





And the markings...



I've also added a Vector P&W R2800 resin engine that is a "build" by itself. Once the wring is done the egine will be about 160 parts

Goodness, great work on that engine!

wow that is some awesome detail!

A cool choice for a kit and some nice work on that engine!

I am still amazed at the level of detail and paint you guys do. My stuff looks it was done with melted crayons.

Sorry for the delay guys but thanks for stopping in and for the comments.


Cutting a few dozen, 54 to be exact, of these little rings from aluminum tubing and finishing the wiring took most of my snow day yesterday.





Here is the nearly completed engine. I still need to work out the exhaust pipes since there is a difference in the set up for the Vector engine from the kit engine. But I think the kit parts will meld into this well enough, with some modification, to be able to mount the engine to the firewall with what will essentially be following the kit instructions.

Of the 78 resin parts in the bag, I've used 48 here. Total parts count after all the wiring, fittings, spark plugs, rocker arm oil lines etc. 221. I made the stand and base to display it, at least until it's time to install into the fuselage, since it is a completed model unto itself.

that is small.

Thanks Jim. I got mine at Sprue Bros.
