thanks for the kind comments, much appreciated !
you can easily imagine how pleased i am with the result !
a year and half working on it, and it's not completely finished; before the next project, I still have to put a hood on the engine, which probably will be constantly open, because of the engine heat, like on many pictures of the real machine I could see by the way...

Excellent  :praise2:  :praise2:

Successful model IC engine powered land vehicles are quite rare. You seem to have got the engine well matched to the load  :)
Best regards
