Can you imagine if Garmin struck a deal with Ozzy Osbourne to use his voice? :rotf

Nice one, Chris! :drinks
 
Yesterday, I was able to pick this back up and decided to start by doing some subassemblies

The engines are very nicely detailed . However, the pushrod housings were totally omitted :idonno

So, here's the correction.

Still need to rewire the sound system and I'm sure the wife will distribute some feathers in the nest :rotf

Maybe now I cwn turn my attention to plasti again. Cheers, Christian B)

As you can see, the fight is just beginning :fencing I predict some adventures in grinding :S

Cheer, Christian B)
 
One can understand why a Vector engine might not fit but it's puzzling that when the parts are made to fit that they don't. I'm currently working on a Classic Airframes kit and a Special hobby kit and both had similar problems x2, on one I ground down the cylinder heads and the other I ground out the inside of the cowling. A lot of extra work that shouldn't have been needed.
