Rear taking shape
Both carburetors and the generator with their wiring/tubing/control rods added
HT leads and spark plugs added
Eduard's 1/32 scale Argus AS-10 engine from "Me-108 Taifun" kit- built OOB. Looks better detailed than the 1/35th scale AS-10 engine from the Tristar/Hobby Boss Fi-156 Storch kit, but it still needs some super-detailing as the engine will be mounted bare.
Status as of June 17th
Engine with radiator mounted on the frame
Brake master cylinder scratchbuilt and mounted. Brake rod connected to brake pedal.
Frame with brake and fuel lines added
MWD frame modified- tow pintle cross member skipped and both rear side frames cut, trimmed and glued again.
Modifications to differential housing- hand brake rods support added
Cab trimmed behind seats. The cutouts were needed for propeller safety cage forward supports
Engine and engine compartment super detailing under way- ignition coil, oil dipstick, horn, clutch and brake pedal support and some tubing added
More wiring on the left engine side
Mock-up to find the angle of AS-10c engine mounting with regard to MWD's frame

Welcome Alec K!
I've added all braking and fuel lines, plus the throttle connections to the carburetor and will post some pictures tomorrow.

I always get jealous for ppl who do modifications. I can't even put up a wire for the engine! Well done!

Lenny, go into Angel's albums mate. He is beyond possessed! His research is thorough and everything is included on the rarest of items. When Angel starts a project it is elbow room only!

Thanks Lenny!
Adding details to an already well detailed kit is not so hard. Just give it a try, be patient and self-forgiving. Should something go wrong- Keep calm and carry on!
And thanks again, Peter!
Yours is the best description of my AMS, I've read!
