Hi,

I recently started to work on the Pratt and Whitney R-2800 resin kit from Brassin, to add details to the 1/32 Tam Corsair.

Parts cut from the resin sprue.







Some parts:



Original spark plugs are not bad, but... details can be added.





New connector.



Cylinders head drilled to receive a "real" tube instead of the PE one of the Barssin kit.

Me again...

The box of the lower cylinder is also drilled to be connected to the reductor and the back of the engine.







Test fit:





Early Bendix electrical harness from Barracuda



Next step: Paint.
So time to mask...



Late Distributors are cut off and will be replaced by the Early ones provided by Barracuda:



More mask:

And then you call yourself a newbie in your introduction! That is some master modelling, great stuff.

a stunning body of work on a small piece of engine, even in 1/32. Wow....not a newb in my book.

great work
