I noticed pistons in the block
a detail I haven't seen on a kit before
and not at the same hight as is correct so heads could be left of and the build would still be correct
The machineing for the valves is also a fantastic detail
Very cool kit with options I haven't seen before
Great kit I will have to look for it

The block and valves did not come with this kit. I had them in my parts box. I wish I knew where it came from, but I have no idea. I can tell you that the block and valve heads were black and the oil pan was clear.

Ok that is sure indeed
But sure something I haventbseen before
I am sorry to say you should probably save that fo something werte you want to display that
A very interesting detail

Lot of the older AMT/MPC kits came with separate cylinder head and valves. Just checked a few kits in the stash and the 1970 Super Bee and 1970 Baldwin Motion Camaro have that detailed engine.

That block looks great with the piston crown detail, perfect for a garage dio ……… gonna start scouring the aftermarket now👌
4 February, 23:11
![](/profiles/img/18039-337-s.jpg)
Absolutely, I'm not that talented, so that's why I picked up a few of those garage kits.
5 February, 00:55
![](/profiles/img/38592-374-s.jpg)
thank you all for the great comments! JV, this is the build I was saving this block for. I have another one in my parts bin for another build in the future.

That garage kit looks cool! I like that it is self contained. I think I might build up the barn around this Camaro in a similar fashion!

![](/profiles/img/108467-993-s.jpg)
I got 2 fugimi garage kits
Just got to get a few kits with tool boxes and stuff like that
I will have to have a look in some of my amt and mpc kit for that detail
24 February, 18:44
![](/profiles/img/108467-993-s.jpg)
Had a look through mots of my amt and mpc kits
None which has the cool detail of showing the pistons in the block
But I did find a impala kit which has a crank shaft
And also shows the rockers
25 February, 04:55
![](/profiles/img/108467-993-s.jpg)
The amt ertl
Kit no 31760
1958 impala
It also has options of stock parts for engine or modified
25 February, 13:15
![](/profiles/img/108467-993-s.jpg)
I also got a few engines in a parts bin
Will have to go through them now 😆
Unfortunately I don't have much of amt or mpc kits
And most not so old

Sorry Bob I had a look at the Baldwin camaro kit
Just looked at a few reviews
I was thinking if thay made a kit pree chist thay probably wouldn't change much
In the next few thousand of years
The early kits were about 2000
The kit does have rockers showing in the heads
And yes you can see what resembles pistons
But all at the same level of the bore
And the 2 pistons on each end of the block on both sides
Have lining up blocks across them
The latest kit in that family still has those details
In the case of the block D Hadley is uesing
The pistons are at different levels and there is nothing over the pistons
Further more the pistons are machined for the valve clearance

Starting stronger since the A350 catastrophe. Cockpit sub assembled with the Eduard Detail set, painted and weathered. Couldnt take more pictures of the progress due to the details being so small 🥴🥴
12 August, 21:24
![](/profiles/img/57594-909-s.jpg)
My goodness, that cockpit looks stunning! Are you sure it's not 48 scale?
13 August, 14:26
![](/profiles/img/134557-407-s.png)
Thanks Michael!
I could have hoped Thomas😅😅. It would have made my life way easier. Though the PE details helped a lot
13 August, 14:28
![](/profiles/img/121752-978-s.jpg)
Agree with everyone - the cockpit looks great! Chipping at this scale is impressive
14 August, 14:26
![](/profiles/img/134557-407-s.png)
Thanks guys, waiting to get free from work this week to star painting the fuselage and engine. Let's see how that turns out
18 August, 15:39
![](/profiles/img/134557-407-s.png)
Engine almost done, except for the PE parts. I'm amazed of how it's all turning out tbh, didn't expect this great finish on such small parts
19 August, 19:34
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Looking good 👍 the instrument's look good, did you get the clocks to sink in with softener ??
I have this one to build next after my lAR-80.
Thanks for uploading 😁👍
20 August, 17:29
![](/profiles/img/134557-407-s.png)
Hey MrD thanks! Well Im sorry I can't help you with that because I used the photo etched and plastic instrumentation provided by the kit from Eduard. Sure someone with more experience with Tamiya decals can help you with that in here.
Looking forward to see how yours turns out!
20 August, 19:22
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Thanks 👍👍
May look into the PE kit.
Belts come out nice, do you glue PE direct to plastic or do you have to prep first ?
Coming on nicely 👌
20 August, 19:48
![](/profiles/img/134557-407-s.png)
I use cyanoacrylate for the PE parts, just a little amount sticks okay, although at this scale there's some parts that are way to hard to make them stick and my not so skilled application of the glue leaves a lot of residue on the model. I try to clean up the best I can but it's quite challenging sometimes
If you want to build a good looking cockpit with the extra detail I recommend you the PE for sure. But if your main goal is the exterior and not to focus so much on the interior the PE kit doesn't include a lot of things for the exterior, and the tamiya kit I think gives a really nice looking base cockpit

With half the plane chipped, I'm leaving for the week. There's still a lot of work to do regarding chipping and weathering to blend the paints. I'm having so much fun, and applying new technics for me that I'm sure I'll use in future models.
21 August, 12:32
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Thanks Miguel 😃👍
I've only been building again as an adult for just over a year, so the advice helps me improve.
And as l said will probably be my next build.
Good luck with everything Miguel.. enjoy 👍👍👍
21 August, 16:05
![](/profiles/img/134557-407-s.png)
Chipping and decals done. I'm sure this chipping is not going to be of the liking of many, but I wanted to try different techniques and achieve a heavy worked on plane who could not get a paint job in a lot of time. I really like the result I achieved, even though it may seem extreme, I think it adds a lot of personality to the model, and also adds some history to it. Let me know your opinions on this and what would you have done differently with this chipping process
2 September, 11:12
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
It fine, I've seen much heavier worked model than this..?
In reality they looked beat up from war n work... Especially the Corsair.
Best to build a model to how you like it.
I put all my models on a stand with wheels down , some people will cringe at that.🤣 But l like it personally, as l see more of the work I've done.
I'm yet to start wearing.... As quiet new to the game and learnt.
I think you done nice job, well done 👌 👍👍👍
2 September, 15:37
![](/profiles/img/134557-407-s.png)
Thanks Mr D. I'm with you in this one. The best thing about this hobby is to do things as one likes. At the end of the day, the one who's going to be looking at them is us 😁😁

Welcome Torsten & Robert!
I've started the fuselage assembly and clamps were needed.
27 July, 15:43
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Nathan, I am following along as well. I have friends in eastern Ukraine, so very interested in this one. Kind regards, Dutch
31 July, 20:47
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Welcome Dutch! This build is turning into a slog. Clamps and super-glue "force-holds" galore. Luckily it is a tiny plane so I'm nearly done already, just completing all the seam sanding.
1 August, 18:44
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Working on the cowl. I had to use 2-part epoxy clay to fill a large gap on the bottom of the cowl that was created by making the cowl fit straight & level.
8 August, 20:53
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Looking good. Keep up the progress. The splinter pattern will be stupendous when done.
13 August, 16:03
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Thanks Dutch! Man I just realized looking at pictures that the wing camo is a mirror image for the other wing. It won't be perfect… 😁
13 August, 20:47

Welcome to the show Ben! I've applied the first color today. Now off to cut masks for the next color. I've been spoiled by those pre-cut masks…
16 August, 17:41
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Nathan, quick question. Why not just spray the first color overall, then mask only the subsequent colors? Saves at least one step, I should think. Carry on. I am enjoying the show.
16 August, 17:47
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
In this case I just got a little too happy masking. I even decided against my usual preshade since this plane's paint looks really new in all the pictures.
17 August, 17:20
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Nathan, are you going to put kill markings on it?

19 August, 17:35
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
The second color has been applied. Slow going here as my workbench time has been lacking.
25 August, 14:13
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Thanks Dutch! Today I masked off the areas for the gloss black. The tan colored areas are quite small, but they're everywhere. Tamiya tape stock is going up!!
26 August, 17:32
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Well my gloss black was solidified, so flat black will have to do. Hopefully it will all even out when the clear is applied
28 August, 00:20
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Thanks Jennifer and Villiers!
Work continues on masking these tiny sections.
30 August, 16:13
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Well that was a whole bunch of masking for some very tiny pixels… I also added a coat of Future to help with the panel lining effort to come.
3 September, 23:57
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Today has seen the underside color selected and applied (Tamiya X-14 Sky Blue) along with masking/painting the cowl colors using Steel & Red.
4 September, 13:58
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
I'm using both AK & Mig panel wash. For the bottom I used Grey-Blue and for the top I haven't decided whether I'll use a dark brown or black wash. Of course for the black areas I'll use the Stone Grey wash which I think is Mig.
