    Thanks Tom. Here it is completed. Turns out the u-bolt to mount it to the frame are twice as wide as the frame channel, so I have to add "reinforcements" to the inside of the frame channels. That will be tricky.

    Sam, I have the Italeri crane on an L700. I had bought the KFS first but found it would have been too big. The Italeri is a very nice unit as well, just a bit smaller.

    Early on, it had been decided that there would be some engines on display in the shop. The first trio was the company's namesake, a flathead, a V8 and a flat 12. The boss asked the boys to prepare another one in the same manner, this time a Ford Model B, a Jeep Dauntless V6 and a Porsche 356 Carrera 1500GS.

    Thanks Ray. Somehow your research was more fruitful than mine. Now I know what I am going to do.

    Added the fenders, backup light and mud flaps. As soon as the crane is completely dry, I'll start the detailing and assembly.

    I have a Merlin from a Spitfire and one from a Mosquito. They will be built for display. What colors were they? Were all Merlins the same color or did it vary with the application. the only one I ever saw in the flesh was a deep maroon, I doubt that was its original color. Thanks, Pat

    Thanks guys. Painted the crane orange. A real Hiab 205 is black. That wouldn't do.

    Purchased a Model B engine (Ford 32, 4 cyl.) for a display project. It looks a lot more like a Model A than a model B (Oil tube and no fuel pump). So I began to modify it to represent the B.

    I think it lived on as the 3800. I'll check.

    I put this one here because it is a Buick design to start with, then Jeep Corporation, then AMC, then back to Buick. The 225 Dauntless V6, OHV V6, 225 cu.in./160 hp.

    Not irked but saddened. They found this couple dead in their chopper in a remote wooded area today. they had been missing since Monday last week. They were on their way back from Nashville and crashed 40 miles from home.

    Glad you like it Sam. the Motomaster color is an old can I had. They sell nothing but Duplicolor now. However I'm sure there is a Duplicolor green like that.
