Well, after a week's work and 80 pieces, I finished it.
No, not the airplane model.
The frickin' engine! I picked up the 1/32 scale Trumpeter F4U-4 last week. Honestly, I think the model is over-detailed. Photoetched hinges for the control surfaces? I appreciate optional position control surfaces but it ain't like I'm a ten year boy whose going to be playing with it. Do we really need moving parts? But I did just finish the engine.
Oh, it looks nice so I'm posting two pictures. But some of this stuff can never be seen (even with the cowling removed). The accessory section at the rear of the engine is behind the firewall, inside the fuselage. Anyway, here are two pictures * (hit "next" to see second photo)
