Not even a challenge for you, is it? Will the finish will represent a moderately weathered engine? -- Russ

You make it appear so simple, looks can be deceiving. But it is definitely becoming another exquisite model.

Awesome! Another masterpiece in the making!

Not just an amazing model but a piece of engineering!
Building it and getting all the correct components in their right location.
I am truly in awe.

Brilliant!

[Ray Dunakin]

Beautiful. Are the rods and linkages all permanent, or are they removable for painting?

[Burl]

When you say "real rust", is that as obvious as I think it is?  Or is there some other paint product out there I just have to have?

[Scratchman]

Thank guys for your comments.
Ray... there are no moving parts on the rods and linkages .
Burl... the rust is real. Here's a photo of my rust farm.
