Haven't seen one of these for many years.Points and a condenser!.I bet the younger forum members don't know what those are for!.I look forward to seeing this built.
 
ive got this one to do sometime too


when i used to work for a certain large car manufacturer i was on a training course.....instructer took us into the engine plant.....in the reception was a lovely cut away inline 4.....you turned the flywheel and you could see pistons rising, valves going up and down.......the instructer didnt know who an engine worked so for the next ten minutes i had to explain it all!!.....he had never even heard of 'suck, squeeze, bang, blow'!! :D
 
I got this in my stash but never built it yet ( looking good and oily ( can't wait for more

This looks really interesting. I must try an engine some time. I've been off modelling for a few weeks while I adjust to my new Windows 7 machine, having ditched my iMac after 4 years of continuous glitches. I am surprised at how different Windows 7 is compared to a Mac and that is taking time to learn. I am finding that Windows Explorer makes it easy to find files..
 
looks superb Ken you have real nailed the steel and other colors just right


in my eyes great work, ;)
