Guest Peterpools Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Thanks Carl, so very much appreciated I can't wait as I feel like a sponge soaking up all the information Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Pete, Finally had the time to get caught up. The fuel cells are perfectly painted with just enough washes to pop out all those details. Outstanding effort in painting and then detail painting those engines. the tops which are in reality the bottom of the block, looks the part of a brand new set of engines just off the assembly line. I particularly like the color you used for the red oxide color rubber tubing. It's about the best representation I've yet seen. As I asked you at our every other week Sunday breakfast, will both engines be displayed with open panels? Sure would be a shame not to show those puppies off. Gotta be the best quote I read in your Intro. Sorry that I can't remember who said it, but it's a classic for sure. It's just like a Mosquito...only German.

Guest Peterpools Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Thanks JA but I think I overpaid at breakfast this morning! The fuel cells after a lot of sanding, were all painitng and my favorite part of any build. Of course, don't ask me the brand of brushes I use, as we were discussing it this afternoon. The red is called out as Vermillion in the instructions. Yup, the DB 603' will be hanging in the wind for sure; one completely and one with a few engine cowling panels still on. I'm planning on having a lot of the access panels open as the interior details can be seen. Bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Peter, Stop just stop! The engines themselves are amazing. I definitely am going to have to work a lot harder to keep up with your build. Great stuff. Chris mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Looking at those engines I am really impressed, they look so realistic, I wish I had the patience (and skill) to turn out work like that and as others have said they really must be on show on the finished article.

mikeblack Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Beautiful work, Peter - I'm following this one (as I did with your Mossie) with interest!! Mike mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Chris Much appreciated and I've been putting in a lot of OT to finish up the engines; "The Old Man" really went to town and they really are amazing to. All the plumbing and wiring is now done and I'm working on the engine's last three assemblies: the armor plate, radiators and exhausts.

Guest Peterpools Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Thank You Dennis for the very kind compliments. yes the engine cowling s will be completely off one engine and about 3/4's off the other and they il be completely open and visible, just as on the Mossie.
