coming along nicely. Where did you get the 6 mil carbon from? Do you mean 6 thou? M.

Shame to see this one stall, but thats the way of some kits! Don't look to closely at the 49 engine and gearbox! The gearbox is oversize (to accomodate the metal gears for motorisation) and the wrong type for the 49B. There are many other problems with the kit (wheels/tyres, rear suspension etc etc) but IMO thats the most obvious. If you can steal a box and engine from the Tyrrell it improves the accuracy and look no end. Malc.

Looking really good! Got my fingers crossed for you with the Zero paint! Are the made up brakes the Fatfrog replacements? Malc.

Thats very nice, you have got a great contrast of colours and finishes. PS what is 'west black'? Malc.

I can see them, but they do take a while to load even with 11mb/sec broadband! Using google Chrome on a laptop. Its a great build! M.

A lot of technical component drawings can be found here:- https://archivecat.imeche.org/records/NAP/5/1 M.

Your welcome to all I currently have:- If I find any more I will post it here! Malc.

Wow, thats incredible, I think the H/Suiza 8F is the one that powered the 1/32 Neiuport Delage Sesquiplane I am just finishing up so will be a great display alongside it - thanks! Would you consider doing a Napier Lion VII as used in the Supermarine S5? Malc.

Fantastic! M.

Thats great, please show us some more! Malc.

Fantastic, thanks for posting. M.

Absolutely influenced my choice as a young modeller. I am pretty sure all my early models were chosen because of the box art. At that age not much else would influence my purchases when stood in front of a huge array of shelves stacked with colourful boxes! I can also probably include the Tamiya Lotus 49, which was my first 1/12 kit at the age of 30ish, because I thought the car looked so good on the lid! M.

Thats looking really great! M.

Ohh, good, I only live round the corner!

Its been on my list of places to go for ever. There was an article about it in Scale Models mag Oct 1985. Malc.
