Been trying to get the intakes painted. That has been a series of mishaps but got to a stage where I am calling the white finished even though they are not stellar, more of a case of "that will do" as I am fed up with them and want to move on. Next up will be the engine faces then trying to fit the whole assembly.

So with a boost to my mojo by getting the intakes, at least mainly white, I decided to start on the engine faces.



From front to back are the three parts that make up the engine fronts which are assembled rear to front in that order. Below are the same parts from the other end.



And from the side



There are four sets of these, one for each engine obviously, I just wish that I had not seperated the other three sets as priming them may be a little awkward.

I also found that the rear end of the intakes needed to be trimmed, so far I have done this to only one of the intakes trunkings, but this has exposed the end of where my brush painting has gone so I will tidy that up once I clean up the edges.
There is a double cup holder looking item which the engine fronts fit into which in turn fits over the ends of the intakes resulting in one whole assembly, though that is probably a week or so away.

These parts have now been primed so I should get them painted over the weekend.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .
