Because you have the satisfaction of knowing its there. I do the same. Half the detail I did on my Dauntless cockpit ain't gonna be seen. Engine looks great!!

 

[Wildcat]

Very impressive work Dan!!

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks guys, engines almost done now, just some touchups here and there and shes done....

Started removeing and cleaning up the pieces for the cockpit, getting ready to start spraying the green and flat black....

 

[Airframes]

Looking forward to the pics mate.

Quick question Dan,

You spent all the time on the engine. is there an easy way to display it so you can see the engine with the cover on or off say like maintance was being done?

 

[Catch22]

Unfortunately there isn't! It would require surgery on the cowling. The cowling comes in a clear plastic, but personally I don't think it'd look very good un-painted.

Beauty Dan! It's a real shame the engine can't be more visible in the model.
