l got the hasegawa kit though a very well done :) kit the engine leaves much to be desired. As it build without open cowling its fine and nicely detailed but behind the cylinders is hollow :P :rolleyes: . Not good for an exposed engine so hence l have to make new cylinders and need info on the homare engine. l got lots of frontal and side views but l need behind views of the engine.
