So here is the next update. Thought I would fill that crankshaft (hope that doesn't bite me later its very heavy now.   This is how they would have you assemble the pistons and con rods.  A bit of a problem getting rid of the seam lines like that. I drilled out one half of the piston with a 4.5mm drill(same size as the gudgeon pins) so I can now glue both halves together and insert the gudgeon pin as would happen on the real thing.  Cleaned up and painted the con rods.   And all installed.   Hell of a lot of play in those pistons, could do with some piston rings (not included with the kit) Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Crikey - that's a bit of a beast Ken. Looks as if you're having fun with it. Keep posting - I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the car to go with it...
