Ranger I Pct 4 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I'm just trying to add a little homemade detail to the engines. (B-17G Chow Hound) Please let me know if I should scrap it, keep it, or enhance it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antb Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Are you happy with it? If you are keep it, if not scrap it. It's your model at the end of the day so you only need to please yourself. Personally, I think it looks great! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 It's part of the ignition harness, so why not? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotic Mike Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I think the idea is good, but are the cables a bit too heavy gauge? Also, would they be copper coloured? I'd expect either black, or in a braided armoured casing, often aluminium coloured. But I'd keep on detailing...! Maybe use a lighter gauge wire, and double up per cylinder. One cable going to the front, the other over the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger I Pct 4 Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Thanks for everyone's awesome feedback! I really appreciate all of your opinions as I embark back into this hobby. It's a slow and fun trip to the end of this build. After all it's not a race. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 A quick google of images will give more perspective. Seems copper tubing was used on some engines. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
