Thanks Alex ! Coming from someone that does micro surgery , makes me feel good
No much to the next chapter . Number two engine assembled better than # 1 .
However, I wiped out the small air scoop fore ot the access panel. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to build a fact simile .
Don't feel bad about the heater lines . I don't remember any builds on line adding one. The majority of builds even ignore that there are position lights on the wing tips
Anybody got a good picture of one ? I can't tell wether they are clear or colored . :idonno

Thanks Paul . Probably not as hard as I make it look .
It's actually a pretty good kit ( so far ). Probably would be a snap in a larger scale .

Not much explaining needed today . Just a repeat of the other day on # 2 engine.
Still needing to clean up any stray glue marks and I need to come up with a plan for exhaust pipes since there are no correct exhaust pipes in the kit or in after market :S

Thanks Ed and Moon 
Made a prototype of the late model exhaust ....What do you think ? The front tubes are not installed yet.

Thanks Paul, Ed, James and Gator for tagging along today.
I have spent most of today making four of these. Finally happy with them .
Note the center pipe has clamps made from solder. The other two are made from hot air duct tape .
The solder ones are more obvious but not very much in scale, so I corrected that one as well and primed them a few minutes ago.
I cracked a lot of aluminum tubes just to get the four of these . I think I might have figured how to do it correctly now :coolio

Looking good Christian.
Something to keep in mind is that aluminum can be rather hard too and also can be annealed. You just don't have to apply as much heat. A big candle flame will probably do. Where brass anneals when it is heated to a dull orange, aluminum will melt. You would have to experiment a little, but once you have it, things bend easier when annealed.

I like the tape version better.

Now you tell me Paul
I tried it early on , just for GP . Apparently too much heat as it just melted in a second .On the other hand, if you insert something that has a rounded end inside rather than a 90 degree end, it does much better.
Will have to try the candle in the future.

I agree Bob. I did use solder on the Skua but I was better able to flatten it as the exhaust was fastened to the cowl.
These were loose, so hard to wrestle.
On the other hand , the glue on the tape is not exactly a guarantee of success as sometimes it stays on the carrier
