Hello together
Hello Stephen, I believe that I have 30% of all. So I need a great number of days, before the engine compartment is ready. Many thanks for your Kind words.

Today the fuel pipes from the pumps to the carburetors.

The genius is all yours Frank. Quite outstanding, as each new component is added, the complexity starts to make what is inevitably a simplified version of the real thing look more and more realistic because the brain fills in the missing detail. It's the magic of scale modelling.

It's an outstanding model in its own right Frank, it's the nature of true scale modelling that a lot of the detail becomes hidden. Still, you (and we) can really appreciate what has gone into making this unique piece of modelling excellence. Ausgezeichnet.

Wonderful, Frank, your picture gives me hope it could be fitted with the Armortek motors in place.
