Thanks Chris, still waiting on that engine build :) Charlie Pro Tech

Hi Frank, we have over 20,000 ft. of braid (and more than that in fittings), so it's here when you need it . Also if anyone is having problems attaining fittings, braid, etc. from another supplier/source etc. we at Pro Tech have maintained a "very large" supply of our braid, fittings and all of our products and never had to ship an order with a part being out of stock since we started the business over 9 years ago. Charlie Pro Tech

Thanks Andy, Chris, Bill. I'm working on the linkage now and will have something up soon. Charlie Pro Tech

Dave, beautiful work! those chutes are to die for. Ya know you should do a working pilot chutes (on one at least) with cockpit release to really wow the contest table gaulkers Charlie Pro Tech

Here's pics with the braided lines/hex fittings installed. Thanks for checking in. Charlie Pro Tech

Thanks guys! appreciate you all checking it out. Joe, actually the braid can be changed to the late style black hose by using the following. Go to your LHS and look in the railroad section for a paint called Polly Scale, color "Night Black" (I think that's still the name) and paint one coat onto the braid. This paint is water based, very fine pigmented and will not clog up the braid detail. Also this paint will take any bends you can throw at it and won't flake off, great stuff. Charlie Pro Tech

Thanks Rom, well got the injection system installed with some of my new (and old) parts. Will shoot a few more pics when I get the feed lines to the injection blocks done. Thanks for looking. Parts used - MCLS 13 Fuel Injection Blocks MCLS 1 Plug Wire (I reference to use this (back of MCLS 13) for the "rubber style" line on for the injector lines as in the prototype world these are very close in diameter). PTMC 25 Hex Fittings.

Chris and Scott, thanks guys. I'm working on the injection set-up now and should have something to put up this coming week. Charlie Pro Tech

Rom, looking good man. Whatcha mean the last set, I was going to see if you wanted to make me a 1000 units for resale hahahahah........... :lol: Charlie Pro Tech

Jack, you can place the order by phone but payment still needs to be in the form of a money order or check. I do not offer paypal or credit card service. Charlie Pro Tech

Thanks guys, I got the oil system installed. I used Evergreen strip to scratchbuild the oil manifold. Next, I plumbed it with the following. PTMC 20 braided line with PTMC 25 fittings for all lines to main bearings. PTMC 22 braided line with PTMC 27 fittings for line to pan. Thanks for looking, Charlie Pro Tech

Hey Jay, nice work on the grill, looks great with real screen. Charlie Pro Tech

Dave, just checked in on this and WOW !!!! Love the scratchbuilding and detailing going on (that seat and head mesh is really cool and vintage looking!). Will be watching. Charlie Pro Tech

Looking good Rom, makes me want to grab that handle and jump in. Charlie Pro Tech

Hi Frank, glad to see you decided to post these builds! I look forward to seeing both as you progress (especially the 1/16 Nova with all those parts in the pink haha.......) You will find there are alot of talented builder here in 1/16 land with alot of keen/cool ideas on building in this scale and I'm sure they would love to follow along also on your build! Thanks as always for your support of my products! and hope you enjoy this GREAT!!! forum. Charlie Pro Tech

Thanks for the comments, actually it is a bolt/nut that I used on the cross shaft. If you look very close you'll see a nib (bolt shaft) coming through a hexed shaped nut. This I know is not "technically" 100% correct in the real world (probably a taped shaft with screws) but it worked for me. Charlie Pro Tech

That's some impressive work going on there Dave, very cooool.............. Charlie Pro Tech

Welcome back Rom, glad to see you dusted this one off. Keep at it buddy! Charlie Pro Tech

Looks like it's going to be a cool build Mike. Charlie Pro Tech

Derrick, engine looks great and very cool job on the headers!! Charlie Pro Tech

Chuck, exactly my experience too. Charlie Pro Tech

I have a bottle over 10 yrs. olds that I still use. Clear as the day I bought it. Charlie Pro Tech

Hey guys, got a little more done on the injector hat. I have listed descriptions below pics. Thanks for looking! Pro Tech parts I will use to detail the scoop - PTMC 7 Nut/Bolt Sets .020 and .030 along with MCLS 19 Barrel Valve. Here is barrel valve installed detailed with the .030 nuts/bolts. I tossed the kits butterflies, made new ones out of sheet styrene and glued them from the backside. I glued the scoop halves together, filled/sanded the seam and final sprayed with aluminum color. To do the cross-shaft I used some small solder (.028 I had) cut to fit the three openings and glued in place with Future. Next I added the .020 nuts/bolts to the shaft also with Future.
