Very nice indeed Alan. Looks like a labour of love to me.

Looks like a picture of the real thing....
....have to cast yourself a host of clear parts now....

Wow, those engines are superb. Fuel lines and electrical looms!! Awesome detail.

Thanks Doug

So there we have it. All the pipes fitted. Just got to let the CA cure properly then i'll paint them. Been a long journey to get this far. I can see the end of the tunnel with this engine now lol

Man, that’s a lot of plumbing. One of my least-favourite things to add to models because I can never make it look right, but you don’t seem to have that problem

 

[The Smythe Meister]

It's all been said....
... So I'll just add..
..LOVE IT ....

 

[Jim R]

That's superb Alan.

 

[AlanG]

Cheers guys. Been a bit of a journey with it so far and i hope i haven't bored you all with pics lol. Still not quite finished but not much more on the engine..... honest

Alan,
The plumbing looks superb.

 

[JR]

Certainly not Alan, the more photos showing that detail the better .

 

[Andy the Sheep]

An outstanding job, Alan and a clear example of modeller's patience.

Combustion chambers (and pipes/cables) primed with Mr. Surfacer 1000. Never used the stuff before but seems to give a nice cover. Totally stinks though. Defo a mask job. Will wait for a bit (not sure how long) then i'll paint the chambers/pipes/cables up.
