Damn, is that all scratch built? Looks great!

With the exception of the base motor. I think it was from a 1/25 Italeri truck kit
THANK YOU for your kind post

Here is the engine, darn near complete. I still have to add surfacing and paint it. WHY I still haven’t figured out. It will only be seen in the shadows and even that won’t be that much.

Most of this will never be seen after construction is complete.

Hello!
Maybe this will help you - especially with the rear driver’s position…

Good luck with your build and have a nice day

Pawel, Many THANKS

Does anyone have some drawnings or photos of 231/232/263 engine?
I want to realize my 232 with engine hatches opened but I can’t find anything :smiling_face_with_tear:

There is REALLY nothing out on the web. You need to purchase the Nuts and Bolts 263 version for anything

These are the resin cast support arms. Going to be 16 in all. Perfect NO. Historically not 100 percent accurate due to strengthening considerations. BUT I am happy



As always You can use dedicated, accurate product

So, after resin casting the master’s and putting together the whole suspension arm/cradles, I had to check my work. Something i took for granted assembling terrestrial kits. For those who love to point out flaws, I already see them and have addressed the issues. Besides the fact that the lower half and 75 percent of the drivetrain, suspension, running rear won’t be seen this isn’t a “deal” breaker. A wee bit of grime and snow and ice, and were are all good.
