Was about to comment on the landing gear lever, but Andy beat me to it! Good stuff Wayne, and yes, go with the contrast in colour for the plug leads.

Fine looking Merlin there, Sometimes it seems as if you are a "Merlin" yourself!

Wayne Little · Jul 21, 2012

Cheers Paul and Gerry...

the merlin looks great and the cockpit sidewalls will you be adding more Wayne treatment to them.

Gnomey · Jul 21, 2012

Coming along great Wayne!

Wayne Little · Jul 22, 2012

Thanks Guys, as i said painted those contrasting pipes and leads and dry fitted the engine into its frame again....here is how it looks...

woody · Jul 22, 2012

Looks fantastic Wayne.

Airframes · Jul 22, 2012

Great stuff Wayne! Mask out the tweezers and the plastic locating pins, and that could pass for a photo of the real thing!

Nice stuff Wayne. I'm sure this won't be a problem for you, but make sure everything's properly lined up as the cowlings are quite annoying and don't fit fantastic, at least for me. I may have slightly misaligned something somewhere along the line so I had problems, and you can't do test fitting until everything's build which causes more issues.

Gnomey · Jul 23, 2012

Great work so far Wayne!

Rogi · Jul 23, 2012

The engine looks great Just enough wiring without going over the top crazy till it doesn't fit

A4K · Jul 24, 2012

Love that engine Wayne, and cockpit should be sweet when done!
