The great thing is that if there is no reference material no-one can say it is wrong! Looking great though, I always enjoy seeing what modellers can make of old kits.

Hi Mobear, this is looking really good. The engine and scratchbuilt seat are fantastic. I'll be following this one for sure mate.

Very nice, very nice indeed, that engine and seat are works of art.

Great work Ole, keep it up.

Looking really good so far, especially like the seat ... very neat

Found a picture of an engine (said it was a S. camel on t'interweb site) with what seem to be two cables coming from what i would assume to be sparking plugs and travelling back into the main unit.

Don't know if it'll help or not

[dubster72]

Whittling your own props!! This one will be more home-made than anything else when you're finished with it Ole! but having seen your seat & engine, I'm sure this will be just as good mate.

Cheers

Ole, I take it that after all this work you are leaving the prop as natural wood .A varnished natural wood wood propelor on the plane will look great.

That would certainly brighten up your display shelf! From what you've shown us you have the skills to do it so why not?
