Parts 47 -54

Major puzzling here to get everything built up and installed.

The brass cylinder build was straight forward except for the end piece that attach to the piston rod guide rails. One must be careful to get them aligned properly.

The guide rails themselves are too long. Better that, than too short.

Speaking of too short: the drive wheel pins for mounting the linkage were sized according to the plans. They are too short. I had to add a bit on the end of each pin to get the proper length. So, word of advise: size according to need and not according to plan. (Not the first time I've had this issue with Modelik plans).

Also all the "silver" parts were printed as gray parts. They all got painted metallic colors via paint marker or spray paint.
