Yes I did make it from a Stuart kit like yourself  :old:
My aim is for a accurate part with a good finish

Well the time has come to declare this model finished, well for now anyway as I have been patient and spent some time painting and final fitting then it seemed to work pretty well straight away which was a relief, as if there is a problem there's a lot to dismantle to get to any part.
I made a few modification's to the plans to suit my own ideas and methods of working and tried to get an attractive appearance.
I couldn't do much of a progress diary as I found it distracting but if you want to know any details please ask.
Thanks to those who posted encouragement, it's a great to share my efforts with you.
here are some pics. Geoff

Well it turned out magnificently (hope that is a word) beautiful. It was fun to follow along on your build.

That's sweet, just so smooth and quiet. Elegant is, I believe, the word....

Congratulations!!

Looks and sounds great  :)

It's nice to see one of the less common Stuart engines for a change.

What everbody said.

Pretty Neat (and neatly done, too.).  Detailed.  Good Colors. Smooth and slow running like I like.

Thank You for posting,
