I think there's a word for this.... a koodlemoodle. Like a bowl of spaghetti.... you can't find the end !

Spaghetti was the first thing that came to my mind. Real cool Wayne and I don't envy you having to try and find the right way to fit it.

The fitting as is will be no problem already done a test fit of the sections, it's adding extra's that can be seen and not having interference, for instance the plug leads directly under the exhausts...the exhaust frame effectively covers the top portion of the outlets...so trying to squeeze them in will only lead to the exhaust frame part not fitting in place.....I will ponder further...

That might help, Terry!

Thanks for your comments Guys!

Ok some further upgrading of the Engine bearers and pipes with some more paint and light wash, and dry fitted to the firewall for good measure!

a googa what? ....well Geo that's a new one for me..nice, and thanks!

Kinda miss spelled it a tad. From the Frank Zappa song "Nanook Rubs It" Anyhoo...spent five minutes trying to come up with something original to say about this fantastic build but I'll have to go with the old stand-by. Outstanding work sir.

Good stuff Wayne. Have a squiz at the colour pics I sent, which should show the colours of the individual metal pipes and rubber hoses. If you need any further pics, let me know, as I've found some I took of the BBMF Spit engines (both sides) when I did the AV show for them, and also a good B&W wartime pic of the MkIX's engine.

Lovely work Wayne!

Vic Balshaw · Jul 11, 2012

A nice snug fit on the firewall and looookin goood!

not a bl**dy lot! I'm thinking the side section port side but may leave the starboard off too.....so effectively want to add some of what is seen through these areas.
