Good evening, Thank you ! The engine stand is progressing quietly. The base is made of 4 square section tubes. They are welded to ensure more solidity. The sturdy pieces are cut and bent to give them their final shape. They will also be welded to the base. The bends are now welded. They are temporarily held on the structure with the Speed tape to give an idea. The wheels will soon be assembled. More very soon. Pascal

Good evening, Adjustments and other blank assemblies continue. The crankcase is installed on the block and equipped with some machined parts, the block with studs and bolts. Tightening all nuts will remove all play/gap. The engine mounts are also bolted. The back of the block is positioned. The engine is then positioned on its stand to adjust the dimensions and permanently weld the side and front supports. More soon. Pascal

Pascal, That engine stand is amazing, and certainly requires as much skill as the building of the engine. Both are way above my build skill level for sure.

Good evening, Thank you very much Mates! Let’s take a little height… Left cylinder head test fit. Its shaft cover is also positioned to validate the thread length for cap nuts/washers. The seals (cylinder head and shaft cover) are not installed for the moment. Pascal

Pascal, The level of detail just continues to amaze me. And that engine stand could easily pass for the real deal.

Pascal, The attention to detail of the kit is just beyond anything I've ever seen in any scale model. Every time you post pictures that contain gaskets is a perfect example. They have all the printing that I've seen on gaskets over the years.
