Test fitting for the push rods and spark plugs in place. Cylinders of the first row are now complete: Time for the back crown. Alu Metal Cote quickly applied with a brush then polshed with a brush once again. Smoke and quick dry brush with "blanc de titane" and black from W&N this time. I don't spend too much time for the details and paint work on these parts as they will not be too visible. Pascal

Other engine parts and cowls: After the grey... BLACK! Gloss Black Base from Alclad. "Engine Manifold" from Alclad. Pascal

Instruction plate added First row: Test fit again with front end: Bendix magnetos: Time for primer! Grey Micro Filler on few parts. Cylinders: I love the details: Pascal

still there... Black here too: Pchiiit... Mask off and light first weathering steps. test fit: Pascal

Guess who.... Black again. Welcome to the Smurfs: Mask off: Pascal

Again and again... ZP primer and black before Alclad, from ZP once again: Short dry time, then grey from Gunze: 307 & 337 with Tamiya thinner. Alclad White Alu for the cylinders. Pascal

Me again... The box of the lower cylinder is also drilled to be connected to the reductor and the back of the engine. Test fit: Early Bendix electrical harness from Barracuda Next step: Paint. So time to mask... Late magnetos are cut off and will be replaced by the Early ones provided by Barracuda: More mask: Pascal

Hi, I recently started to work on the Pratt and Whitney R-2800 resin kit from Brassin, to add details to the 1/32 Tam Corsair. Parts cut from the resin sprue. Some parts: Original spark plugs are not bad, but... details can be added. New connector. Cylinders head drilled to receive a "real" tube instead of the PE one of the Barssin kit. Pascal
