Nice engine Trey! I might end up adding more bits to mine now!

[Guest]

Trey that is looking great I have to agree with Steve in that it looks like you could spool it up and it would fly of the bench.

[Guest]

Great work Trey, very impressive engine,

Ok trey, this is a great build, no doubt.

Details and results on the engine are impressive.

Some great detailing Trey. I think my engine was not quite in the same league as yours. I presume you going to have those engine cowlings open? Looking forward to more progress.

[Guest]

Thanks Monica,yes open cowl for sure.

Steve I thought that was the same Natter really enjoyed the build and the detailed info as well,thanks for the kind words

Patrick thanks it was you're tip with the solder that helped! Did you post up any pics of yours? Would love to see it.

Terry, Steve , Joe , Francesco thanks

Vaughan you're engine looked great ,yes going with the open option and thanks appreciate the compliment!

Got the wings mounted up and after some tweaking got it close to being the right dihedral and evenly matched . Threw the engine in temorary just to see how it would fit ,no issues so far .

[Guest]

Coming along nicely, I like this one.

[Guest]

That's looking like a real 162 now Trey! Mine is still in bits, I got distracted by other stuff!

Hi Trey

That engine is great the plumbing on it gives it real detail.

The aircraft is really coming together now and it will soon be time for some paint.

Lovely looking model so far can't wait to see the scheme you'll apply

Cheers

Steve ,Patrick , Paul thanks guys!

Small update ,used some water based glue to place the gear doors and nose cone back on temporarily for painting. Should start painting soon.

[Guest]

If the surface painting is half as good as the internal detail and the engine this is going to be a cracking model! Great job Trey, that engine detail and finishing looks really effective and the cockpit is spot on.

[Guest]

Thanks Richard really appreciate that!

Not much progress ,got the RLM 76 on over a modest preshade. Found a few flaws that I missed and will have to wet sand them out and respray a few areas.

[Guest]

This is looking great Trey, like it a lot.

[Guest]

Thanks Steve!
