Super-cool, Randy! That waterlogged cardboard box looks really smelly.

Beautiful start to that engine- cheers!

My thanks go out to Terry, MP, Christian, Mike and Chuck for the time taken to look and comment!


With some bench time over the weekend I got the cockpit buttoned up and am able to go foward on the engine ....


Built up the exhaust and then started on the frame, firewall and plumbing....

Hydraulic tank out of srap and some fittings from RB Motion..

Those last pics are just mocked up, still need to build the rest of the engine mount framework and add a lot more plumbing and control rods and wirring....


Thanks for looking!

Re: Nakajima B5N1 Hasagawa 1/48th UPDATE 11/29

Need to say thanks to Christian, James, MP, and Mike for the kind words


I am going to make a small little dio for this plane and Built this little guy to add to it...

Built it oob with only a change of hydraulic hose, thought the kits ones were too thick. Sweet little that just fell together.

Small progress on the plane, Trying to finich the cowling frame work and motor mount...

This was the inspiration for exposing the motor, same engine and prop as my plane....

Do need a little help. Trying to figure out what the horizontal control linkage??? is for in this pic. Have not seen this in my other ref. stuff.

Can't figure out to draw on my pics but is in front of the cylinders and looks like it heads toward that little gizmo on the prop housing.

Thanks,

Randy

Re: Nakajima B5N1 Hasagawa 1/48th UPDATE 11/29

Is that really linkage? The item on top of the crankcase (differential cover) is the propeller governor but I don't recall seeing the bar across and above it.

I don't see it here...

Hi Saul,

I think you are right, that rod does not belong there. That pic looks like it is of a engine on the ground so it could be anything.

Thank you for taking the time to reply and thanks to Christian also for the PM with the info.
