Takom Renault FT 1/16

[Nieuport]

Hello,
 
First of all, I am on holidays   so, I will have more time to work on my kits !!!
A little update, I added the tube for spark plugs wire. That needs some tone down :

 
and I made the gas throttle on the carburettor :

 
After a lot of searching, I think that I know from where to where is the command of the gas. I still have a question, what is the path of the gas hose ?

Hello everyone,
 
Last update for the engine except, maybe, for some additional oil spills.

 

 

 
Next step, tank body preparation,
 
Merry Christmas to all of you,
Eric

Very nice Eric. Have you thought about any dusting on the darker parts of the engine block. And a very Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Thank you for your comment.

I will try to take an other picture with the day light, the engine looks better than with the flash.

Hello,
 
After a lot of trouble between my paint and the red plastic, that I solved, I did some progress on the radiator :

 
Now, I have to add some weathering on the inside of the motor compartment as well as the driver one.

Awesome work. That red plastic does take some work to cover
