Very cool way to simulate the internal structure 👍

Many thanks for your comments! I built this kit years ago and now I am building it again to see whether I made any progress 😉

I don't think that will be a difficult to see 🙂

Thanks Alec - I will add homemade exhausts (see photo 7) and next is the access panel.

Eduard made a tiny mistake as the HD.2 was not equipped with the Gnome Rhone but with a 130 hp Clerget 9 engine. The kit has only a rather simple reproduction of a 9 cylinder Gnome Rhone engine so I went looking for a replacement as the difference is very visible when viewed from front.
The Small Stuff Clerget engine has more parts than the Eduard kit 🙂 Hope the carpet monster does not suck them all in !

nice engine... a lot remains visible, that's a big plus...

I hope it not to late .. please read: smallstuffmodels.com/p/buildinganengine.html
It is much easier to align and glue all cylinders in place, paint it and mount the (differently) painted small parts after that. I have some detailed description on modellboard.net
Good luck,
Bughunter

Interesting... And bad for the wallet...

Thanks bughunter! I did ask myself how to paint best ... it's not too late, I still have 5 cylinders to glue 🙂
Bart: I ordered directly from SmallStuff and paid 16$ which is reasonable for the quality you get (and compensating for the HD1 kit for which I paid 5 CHF)

Thanks Björn .. and yes bughunter: I have a new baby, helped me to bring the engine cowling into the correct shape 🙂
