Thanks Kev. One day after completion and i’m already bored. Having thoughts about maybe an old raf airfield with half a dozen spitfires all starting up at different times. Lots of Merlin noise and stuff. Maybe a flare gun with fibre optics. Just pre thoughts at the moment. :-) still have to complete the deag R2 build. Plus i like the look of the metal bismark build. Think i need to retire. BUILDING: Taking a break / Waiting for the next epic build to be released

Modification work this weekend. To stop the billows of smoke and small fires that breakout underneath when I use the external lithium power pack. Added more load resistors to the motors and now, after a lot of testing, all is good. Plus I removed the weights from the last prop to get a better shutdown effect. So that's it. The diorama is now ready for displays - with it's own (safe) external power source. :-) Happy days. Only little thing to do now is to reverse the direction of the props, but that means breaking into the actual engine cowls...

Yes - A nest of rats. Now that I'm done with the meddling I'll tidy it all up and fix the wiring to the underside. And now its all working properly, a couple of new short vids of startup and shutdown. Startup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XegmK0NuBkk
