[Robert1968]

hi chaps just got a win on e bay ( it's an old kit but I'm thinking although basically oob I want to upgrade the engine but I'm unsure on soldering as 1,never done it on plastic 2 I don't have a solder


So I'm thinking wire with ca glue or plastic rod


How do I go about upgrading it ( what thickness etc


I've seen lots of pics of Radial Engines but have not a clue where to start


Any advice would be helpful


I'm also thinking of doing a thread on the build if I get the info right.


Kind regards


Robert

My search has not sourced much info and I'm at a stage to place a lense if I can source the info


Anyone out there got any help they can offer


Regards


Robert

No idea where the landing light goes Robert, but if you search for "Grumman Martlet walkaround' there are a few series of photos such as:
