More updates ???.....harv

Not much to speak of Harv...

I hit a snag with the piping and wiring of the front bank of cylinders. The p/e supplied by Eduard for the spark plug wires is flat in cross-section and attaches behind the ring of the crankcase cover instead of atop it. This is the real thing, showing the hexagonal attachment points of the spark wires.

I have purchased some miniature Taurus bolt heads, and intend to update the area so that it looks more realistic. Meanwhile, some .4mm tubing and 1/24th scale spark plugs from the Auto side of the Hobby will go in place of the flat Eduard wires.

I have experimented with one of the spare cylinders, drilling out the moulded-in spark plugs ready to insert the new plug and wire combination. If all goes to plan, I will start on the finished cylinder row, and show the results as I progress.
