Thanks Guys, cheers Dave will go for the encore, as soon as i saw your Manfred scheme well....., pretty excited about this one, now sourcing as much info as i can need to get the detail right and we do have Bertl on hand for that little extra info ;)

I can't stop thinking about how i will paint this, it will be different though :rolleyes: and the shading should bring it to life.

Looking at everybodys entries, going to be some top class modelling on show

Provided it's the Prop that spins and not the engine under the cowl.

I can't remember who does it now but I've seen aircraft with spinning props that are synchronised to a sound track of the engine starting, the prop turning over very slowly then catching. All synchronised the prop jerks, spins gradually then runs fully - very clever. Do a search on YouTube.

Very nice, thanks Bertl, if it sounds like that do i get extra points?

Thats what i ment, you get the engine and prop spinning together under the cowl, but i have read the engine is a tight fit and you have to modify the cylinders not sure?
