I had to force myself to get some work done last night and here it is.

Landing gear installed

Next I started to work on installing the engine manifolds. Here they are as part of the fuselage mold of the doner Me 109

A little surgery was needed to remove the Manifold from the host

Dry fitting the manifold on the Messer-Spit

Thats all for now

It's comments like that that keeps me going. The problem is I don't want to rush and screw it up.

That engine looks so weird on a spit airframe.
