Engine L60 for Chieftain

[Stephen White]

Good work Ivano but the scale compromise is an issue. Will you also offer one true to scale?

[Ivano Costantini]

Hi Stefano, as regards the length of the SI radiators, the upper grid you see in the photograph is relative to the length in scale. When I have the final models, I will ask you for confirmation of the lengths. I rely on these.

[Phil Woollard]

It looks great to me Ivano, I will no doubt be the first to build and install it and I can't wait.

Unfortunately, the COVID19 virus has also arrived in my city. Here everyone seems crazy, everyone panics! I have a lot of difficulty moving, so the project and other jobs have slowed down a lot too. I will publish some new definitive projects. The differences if you look carefully are clear. If the situation doesn't get worse, the first final pieces will be delivered to me next week.
They will immediately be sent to Phill for a test. This is the program, but things get worse here hour after hour so I can't promise anything.
I hope you understand me. Thanks Ivano

The latest designs of the front side of the radiator.
Next week I hope the lab is open for printing.

I wish you the best of luck!

[Ivano Costantini]

Although my city is in quarantine, I managed to make some definitive pieces of radiators. Tomorrow, situation permitting, I will try to send them to Phill for testing. The length is 148mm, so they should be fine. It was not easy, it is all out of scale and, without references, it was a complicated job. Tell me if you like them or make comments.
Thank you! Ivano

Hello Ivano.
The parts are looking very nice, it will be good to see them test fitted to Phil’s Chieftain.

Hi Steve,
unfortunately a special law has just been promulgated:
all closed and all at home for 3 weeks. I don't know if I will be able to ship tomorrow. I just hope I don't get sick, many are dying here.
Let's keep in touch. Good luck to all. Ivano

[Ivano Costantini]

Hi Phil,
parcel shipped.
It wasn't easy because there are policemen everywhere who check. Now it will take some time, but I hope it will come. I made an "international registered letter".
Thank you! Ivano

[Phil Woollard]

You are a trooper ivano! We are about two weeks behind you guys in Italy with the virus, things will get difficult here to very soon! Businesses nationally and internationally are going suffer big time.
Fingers crossed the package arrived safley, I will gown up and disinfect when I open it, and I'm not joking.I

Probably best to remove my home address from the thread please ivano, security and all that.

Keep safe Phil.

Phil, I don't know how posts are removed,
If you can, do it yourself or ask the forum administrators.
Thank you!

[Phil Woollard]

Try editing your post, click on the pencil icon on the right hand side and click on attachments, then click remove file and the photos should disappear. Cheers Phil.

Too late Phil, together with all the other model tank part suppliers, they know where you live.

Still, you should be able to "radiate" the knowledge to all us "fans" and encourage our "motivation" when they arrive

Good luck with the Lock Down Ivano, we're with you.
