Looking really nice. When I glued my propeller laminations I added a touch of black paint to the wood glue and got really good results that look like the black glues they actually use. Have fun. Thanks for the video.

Thank you John, I’m going to paint the inside layers of propeller black so hopefully the black layers will show though after sanding

Excellent work John I was amazed at how it's all coming together. The engine looks so realistic 👌

Thank you rod, I really appreciate it, and I really do like the brushed steel finish of the model

Glad you like it eddy

Looks amazing and I really like the polished finished you've given the engine cowl and side panels. I found the engine construction really tricky because the casting wasn't great and all the parts needed a lot of fettling. My favourite part of the build was the propeller, which I feared was going to be a headache, but it was really therapeutic to do and as it was sanded and the shape appeared I was overjoyed. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with it, but based on the rest of your build I imagine it will be faultless

Thank you my friend , I’m really looking forward to building and propeller and with that completing the model
