Almost there!


The Jumo is now bolted on the wing with the engine mounts and cowling supports in place. The supercharger ended up being quite a bit too small so I added the correct shape from some tube offcuts. Whoever commented that it would be mostly hidden was right, once the mounts are in place it is well tucked in there. From most angles the mismatch between wings isn't noticible, and I got the height lined up perfectly.



Radio wires installed using poly thread and pitot from hardened paper stack.



D/F loop aerial made from wire twisted around a pen - seems superflous with the spider aerial on top, but this is present in some pictures and I wanted to have a go at making one.
