Once again !
Well I tried to git'er done before the end of the weekend.
Now y'all know why I wanted to get it finished, would have liked to come back to a clean work bench.
So this is how close I got.
Like I said the cylinder heads are void of detail, Using James' suggestion about using Taurus Model spark plugs really made a difference. I used some brass tubing for the push rod covers and a .5mm tube for the spark plug wire guide. .2mm lead wire was used for the spark wire.
Gave the rudder a bit of a kick...
The prop is not done. I want to get a couple more clear coats on it and get a nice chrome finish to the blades. If you look at the spinner you'll see it's very pointy, this is the second spinner and the machining effect is not there. Its more of a dark aluminum and so will this be.
Hope y'all like it. See ya in a couple of days. Thanks!

NICE!
Well I'm calling her done.
I'm not real proud of the prop, may come back and redo it but the rest I'm satisfied with.
Thanks for all the encouragement and patience.
