And this is a dry-fit of the right engine along with its cowling... Let's move on to the left engine and its cowling...both exhaust collector rings were made of telephone cable and further improved by aluminum foil!!! Still another dry-fit of the left engine and cowling.... Gentlemen thank you for your time and attention!!! B) -

The right engine in place...apart from the engine itself, the cowling itself has been improved while the cowling flaps have already been changed, they will be present in the next bunch of photos!!! -

Well, this is definitely an update concerning the engines, the left half-wing and the tail of my English patient!!! Everything was done from scratch, using plastic sheet, aluminum foil and my punch'n'die!!! Here are what the tail section looks like today... -

Same aspect from above. The right u/c bay. Both bays had to be replaced because the ones provided were way too shallow. That means of course that I will have to build new legs as well..... The right u/c bay. The space behind the engine as it seems from below. Gentlemen thank you for your time and attention!!! :bye: -

Well, I may be just a little late, but I'm here again with a minor update.... That is how far the project has gone up to now... The right engine in place. No open panels here, just the collector ring will be apparent... The right wing fuel tank was replaced with a new one...but then I had to build its bay as well... Here it is in place!!! The most demanding part of the update. Everything was scratchbuilt, including the firewall, from evergreen plastic, copper and lead wire... -
