The engine was another time consuming process to build and assemble the pistones. I was lucky to have only 14 pistones.... The propeller is ready for assembly.





Engine assembled to the fuselage.







At fit check of the cowling discovered that the motor is to deep inside.



Found on the internet an assembly drawing that gave me assurance for the right location of the engine.



Problem was solved by adding a 9mm length cylinder.

Why not make a small diorama? Keep the engine cowl off and with a few barrels of fuel on the side.
