Hi Bertl,

 

Thnx for those! I should have looked at these pics better before venturing in the Taurus engine.

Pure headache material.

 

1. I glued the cilinders on. Only to discover the engine would not fit the cowling of the WnW kit.

2. I debonded all the cilinders and shortened them 1,5 mm each.

3. Then i saw Aviattic is releasing a beautiful resin scale thickness cowling that will fit the Taurus engine. Duh!

4. After this i somehow managed to glue all the cilinder heads / caps in the wrong way round. This was a pain.

5. And by sawing off the rocker arms from the block I already managed to screw up 2 parts.

 

This piece of kit really makes me doubt my abilities. You can see an empty strip of aspirine in the background.

 

Here's where I'm at...

I cleaned up all the parts ( as said more than the total of parts that comprise the engine alone!) and started painting the cowling / aluminum parts. Swirls!!

All this will be covered up and partly brought back with the hairspray technique.
