Shinpachi:

How large of the scale model do you intend to build? Just curious as you have devoted lots of CAD work.

 

[SaparotRob]

1 to 1 scale.

 

[Skyediamonds]

Wow! Full size.

Bending the exhaust pipes referring to an old diagram.
Side pipes curve inward to make space for the oil coolers.
Thanks.

Thanks every one
J7W1's structure is more compact than I expected.
Exact shape of the oil tank behind the cockpit is unknown but temporarily adjusted to the views from upper and side.
Realistic shape may be Zero's tank.

Finally I know why I had to attached so many air intakes when I assembled my first J7W1 cardboard model 50 years ago.
