HI ALL well ive now today been building the engines for this super tomcat an they are quite detailed so hope i can make the engine covers open so they can be seen an first pic ive just buit only part of them engines

 

[boatman]

an a bit more of the engine added

 

[boatman]

an more an for once the engines were a very good fit lets just hope thats a good sign of thing fittin to come

 

[boatman]

AN here against my hand you can see how big these engines are an these are the main engine parts but still quite a few parts to fit on them an this is why i think they deserve to be seen if i can make it so with tiny hinges an opening an closeing covers panels an hopefully some light fitted to show the engines up as the will be under the big wings in the dull shaded area but firstly ive got to be able to use a razor saw to cut out the panels which will be a miricle in itself for me to do it but as the sayin goes never say never lol

HELLO Chaps well still workin on the big cats engines an hopefully i think ive finished them an i know copper colour on the engines pipes an such may not look right but i see someone else paint them this colour an it was a hit with me so ive had go when paint dry to try an fit them in the fusalarge a then see if its possible to cut out opening hatches so they can be seen but it may not be possible but i'll have a good try but im only goin to do a cut out on the show port side an now a couple of pics

 

[Tworrs]

Very neatly done Chris, good luck with cutting the opening.

THANKS Garry yes im pleased with how the engines now look an they are spurrein me on to try the idea of havin a opening engine cover so today im goin to lay out the lower half of the fusalarge an lay in the just the port side engine an see where the cut out for the openin cover will be an if possible see if i can cut it out an fit in two mini hinges for open an closein covers but how i will cut it out still remains to be seen
