It really does look like an amazing kit. I bet it will be another masterpiece.

Thanks for looking in and the kind comments.
I've started finishing some of the engine parts and dry fitting.RM1 attached the following image(s):

The rocker covers need drilling 0.7mm to take the cast bolts. There's a couple of PE brackets that get held with these pieces. ( I can feel the eye strain already  )
Covers then got sprayed Semi-gloss black.RM1 attached the following image(s):

That engine looks great. It reminds me of the big 1/8 Pocher version.
This is going to be a real showpiece.

Some finishing work on the Engine.
Still a lot of dry fitting at this stage. The supercharger is just balanced in place. I can't commit too much to the final assembly as there is a load of piping that still needs to be worked through after the engine is mounted in the chassis.

Thanks for the all the comments.
I'm going through this kit and prepping as much as possible before committing to bonding sections together. So each of the numbered stages are being drilled and fitted.
Next up is the ladder frame chassis which comes in two sections. These have been cleaned and drilled.

There are 4 PE pieces that are formed and located in slots on the inside of the frame. These provide the engine mounts.RM1 attached the following image(s):
