This is a great engine, but boy do the parts require sanding and cleaning. Donn warned me, but it's definitely a beauty inside this build. I think I will build a new grill out of mesh so that the moon tank can be seen through it.

All right, I am starting to feel like this one is getting closer to getting primer and paint. Now that I have all the sub-assemblies ready . . . The distributor is now up front and it's going to be capped with an after market piece. Looking forward to seeing it stick out of the modified hood a little bit.

Nice one. Love the color.

Wow, what a pair of beauties. You capture the look and feel so well. Great work, thanks for sharing.

The details go a long ways on this one. Excellent.

Thanks for letting me know, Casey. I think I will in fact pass on it.

The other thing I was going to say is that I start dreaming about the kit and imagining all the possible ways I can drool over it as I think of building it.

Thanks for the input, John.

Neil, I like your open assessment of the kit. My interest in it is simply to use the parts to modify and build perhaps a more accurate 55 phantom gassers.

Thanks, Bill. I am making very slow progress, and believe it or not, I've spend the last couple of days working on the distributor to which I am adding a couple of after market parts.

Does anyone have good things to say about this kit that's being re-released this coming month? http://www.modelroundup.com/product-p/rmx-4904.htm Has anyone reviewed it here?

Jason, great to have you onboard.

Do they have a link?

Wonderful results, Junior.

Scott, this model is superb. I copied all the pictures over for the next TZH UPDATE.

Bernard, I like it, chap.

I just want the kit to arrive!

Beautiful details. I am so happy you are chronicling every step of this build.

Brad, I am delighted you too now have your very own. Pat Covert will definitely love the homage. Cheers, DC

Very nice build. Very "right now" look. Cool.

Yes, I think it's the different look that makes this one stand out.

Some very cool pictures, and a wonderful thread ida. I'll keep coming back for more.

Thanks for the headsup, Pat.

Loving it so far. Great graphix and colors.

Very cool.
