The paint job of the engine is almost complete. The polyamide color of the fan is a mix of ivory, white and some flat pale green from Italeri.

The engine is pretty much completed. Before mounting it in the chassis, it will get an oil wash.

The hot engine parts are painted with a mixture of Vallejo Rust, Jet Exhaust and Brown as well as Matt Varnish to prevent that the parts look to shiney.
