Starting with the hard parts, I much prefer and enjoy building a radial engine, although these from Halinski are a bit harder than some, in fact I botched it badly with my Oscar, oh well, I had built a decent version for the Zero, so with some studying up I figured out a decent way to build it. First building the cylinder upper, they are interesting in design, and then the valve head covers, because have to make quite alot of them, glued the cylinder bases to the engine block and then put on the upper cylinder parts, when dry inserted wire for the push rods since the rear row push rods face rearward am debating with myself to putting them in... unless I make the prop removable to view.
