    Dan, I was searching through my stock photos but did not find anything useful. Just a 109, P38,. P40, AT6s and some bombers. I will try again when I get home.

    There's a load of detail pics and drawings of the engine, ancilliaries, mounts, and cowling supoports etc in the books on the CD I've sent Dan. Should be enough to build an engine bolt by bolt mate....... and if you want to move further back, and do the supercharger gear, that's there too!

    They're there too - operational, WW2 pics, and current, restored pics. I've got some also I think, in the 56th FG book by Osprey.

    Hey, where can I get a copy of that reference CD


    A 2006 study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink an average of 22 gallons of beer a year. That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles per gallon.

    Sh*t ! I forgot... I've got the 'Wolf Pack' book somewhere, I think at my mates's house! Must, must, must get it back, just in case he pops his cloggs like the other bloke a couple of weeks ago!

    Dan - i knew that pic would choke the goat but it was the best res pic of his last bird in my collection. figured you could use the detail for the 'tape' liner'. I do agree w/Terry on difficulty of actually seeing the tape.

    Here is a thought, however. R/C modellers use 1/32 tape to plant on wing and fuse for panel lines, spray and remove. You might be able to use the stuff After the flat black application of D-Day stripes and the clearcoat to seal the tape.

    Good idea Bill. Thin strips of Tamiya masking tape could also be used, painted, applied, and sealed in place with a clear coat. I've used this for canopy framework, and for a model which had joint-sealing tape (on the original) with great success.

    It probably had color added to it but, I hope it helps!
