Although it won’t be seen when completed the engine is assembled and installed in the model, this model even includes a flywheel. This is one of the few models that include this part. The pistons also are included but, like the flywheel, it won’t be seen when is mounted on the model. To give a little more of depth and detail to magnificent lines of the engine, I gave it a black wash using The Detailer Black wash all over. Here we can see both a close-up and the bottom of the engine showing the depth of the parts lines. At this stage the muffler was installed. I though to give it a metallic look, but, looking to pictures, I saw that that the real part has a flat light gray paint all over that looks more to a primer coat. Actually, this gray color that can be seen here, it’s the thin Gunze Sangyo Mr. Surfacer 1000 primer. I think of it, not just only for the primer job this product will do, if not, because of how thin it is and for the perfect light gray color it will show. I also made the muffler exhaust tips from aluminum tubing. Here we can see a general view of how it looks everything together. One can think these are a lot of parts in order to get this engine completed right, but, at the end one will end with a historic and accurate beautiful engine. I hope you guys like this Simón P.

This is a quick update of what I’ve done so far. As you guys will see, the engine of this model has taken so much time to add some important details that doesn’t come with it. I had used more the time to build, instead of build and take pictures. Most of these pictures are about the complete build of the engine. To me it has been more a date with automotive history than the time that I had spent building this plastic model. I say this because, see all those components and look through pictures in books and the internet, had made me think about the greatness of the German engineers at Porsche through more than 50 year already. Here we go…. In this first picture we can see bits of brass tubing that I trimmed to size in order to be used as the venturi tubes inside the carburetor stacks. An overview of the whole carburetors assembly. The distributors were detailed with some photo etch bolt heads from Model Car Garage. The spark plugs were made of 1mm plastic rod from plastruct and painted silver. The enclosure were the alternator lives was detailed with the same photo etch bolt heads. A piano wire was added in order to substitute the plastic part of the kit were that represent the rod that holds the springs of the linkage in the carburetors. Plastic from Plastruct was also used to make the throttle linkage knobs. A close-up of the carburetor with a spring from Detail Masters connected to the linkage. I gave the carburetors a light gold paint wash to show the light gold tint these parts shows. A general view of the front of the engine with all the mentioned components already in place.

Man, what trash you're talking about?...you're the only one here in tis forum with this attitude towards me. If you or any one else chack all my posts, I had never talked nything negative against the people you told or against anyoune here...Hey gregg or the moderators, check this guy out, people like him come here just only with the mission to destroy the peace here and doesn't contribute with anything positive. Simón

Sorry Clay, it wasn't my inttention to bother you or the other friends from this forum. My excusses to you all. Simón

Listen, it looks like you like some of those guys always have something to try provoke me or someting, because, like of them, you also started to tell that I'm not humble and trash like that...man, do you know what I think?, that like all of those that you say you had talked with(something that I figured out easy from the very beginning of this), you have some complex or feel inferior or something, because to say that someone you don't know post a picture to show to other people he or she it's superior to other people, it shows that you should have a mental problem or something, because, if it works like that, everyone who post their pictures in this forum try to show how superior they are, and I know lt's not like that...or what it is, I have to ask for your permission every time I will post a picture or say something, because if not you or those guys you told, will feel bad or that will show that I'm a superior being...man, grow up! If you can see this, you're the only one that feel like that, any one here doesn't have a feel like that for my picture or any other pictures of the other of the good friends from this forum. So, man, get a life and try to point to other target. Simón
