Think I've got it now. This will be a 100% scratchbuilt project with LOTS of update photos (hopefully)

That looks like it is going to be really nice AND really hard. Good luck and post lots of updates.
First few pics of engine cylinders built up of sprue, details like rocker arms from streched sprue.

Great stuff, looking forward to seeing this one come to life. And nice to see you back.
This should be good!
Smells good.
More work on the engine cylinders today. Rocker arms from stretched sprue formed and attached.

Great work ! Looking forward to more.
Thanks for the comments guys.
The pros on this model: NO clear parts, NO decals and NO seams to fill.
The cons: No kit, Every picture seems to show a different plane/mod, all that RIGGING.
