LSP_Ron Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 If it works out then yeah why not meet? I'll ask Ripaman to join too. Well I did get some building in this weekend. Most of the engine is together and painted. I have fine copper wire to run plug wires, maybe tonight I'll get to it. All paint is MM metalizer. Thae crank case is stainless, cylinders burnt metal and valve rockers gun metal. I sprayed the copper intake manifolds with a little burnt umber to make them look heat checked. The rear crank case is very confusing in the instructions because it bounces around between motorized and non motorized and the poor English makes if very hard to figure out what is what. Lots of time to figure that all out. This is the first bit in the instructions but the very last thing to be mounted on the airframe. I also need to find a good image of the name plate on the crank case and print one. They don't get you a decal for this for some reason. Hope you like. Thanks for looking Shawn M, KiwiZac, Starfighter and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ron Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Thanks Kev, Still some work to be done like a pin wash on all the bolts, plug wires and some little bits to add yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Clunkmeister Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Ohh man that looms awesome, Ron... Focus, Ernie, focus. Need to finish Felixstowe first.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Ron, That engine is striking. Given some castor oil, fuel and a spark of electricity, I bet it would belch smoke and start turning. It's that realistic! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 It's either you, or the MM metalizer... Looks sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Super cool Ron. I'm pulling up a chair and I'll be following along as much as possible. I have this kit as well so this will be great fun to sit in on. Cheers, Wolf Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
