.....1/8 'Parts built' DeAgostini/Hachette Fokker,2 1/2 months & DONE!!
...interesting points
# the 2 pipes exiting either side of the fuselage are intake tubes,not exhaust.
# fuel enters through a basic flat slide carb',into a plenum/bell-house arrangement.
# Travels up the copper intake manifolds & ignites.
# Exhaust valve opens & the waste simply blasts into the atmosphere,no exhaust manifold.
# it took me yonks to find this out,so don't laugh if you already knew? I thought the copper pipes & fuselage tubes were exhaust?!
....I 'weathered' the metal parts to a fashion.
