Before gluing the half wings together, I glued the two wing lights and to simulate the lightbulb who is located in the light, I cut to the punch and die, a round in a bare metal foil and I stuck this round aluminum in the middle of the lighthouse using gloss varnish and on the other half wing, I glued white sheet styrene to give clarity in the background. I then assembled the wings. Before installing the engine cowlings on the wheel well, I glued small pieces of plasticard to facilitate the

Hello Chukw. You're doing an impressive job on this engine. I look forward to seeing this model finished, because I like this plane. I have the LTD model which is not at all comparable to this one. PS. I've put my references for the PV1 Ventura for you in my post on the PV1 Nightfighter. JiP.

Hi all Little update, with the end of the 2 engines. I added all the pieces from the VECTOR kit and painted the "Placards" on the engine. I even made the wire that connects the large central casing to a cylinder. The engines are painted and weathered. I'm happy with the final result for my first detailed engines. Soon for the suit.

Small update with laying oil pipes on each cylinder (it was quite tedious, but I think it brings a plus). Then it will be the installation of induction wires and before it the weathering of cylinders. Small update with the wiring of a motor, his painting and some weathering. The wiring is made of copper fine vire. This is quite tedious, but after 2-3 cylinders, usually comes and it's a bit faster. That's what it looks in the end and I'm happy. Also note that this is the first time I do the wiring of an engine on a model. The final result after painting and some weathering. Various

and finally two general views of all. Cutting of all of the control surfaces of rudder and elevator. I replaced the engine cones with those of VECTOR.

Suffice to say that it takes time. Then I painted cylinders in Tamiya matt aluminum and cone in neutral gray Life Color Then I started to insert small cylinder pipes (and also tedious work long enough. I use to this, the small wire of 0.3 mm
