|  Next step in the build will be putting together the three BMW 830hp BMW 132T-2 nine cylinder, air cooled, Radial Engines and then mounting them. There were two options for the exhaust on this plane. One the exhaust went through the cowling and the other the exhaust was piped out the back side of the cowling. For the French version I'm doing it calls for the latter option. To accomplish this I had to first fill the holes in the cowling for option one. Then I had to cut the exhaust like you see in the picture below and remount them at a 45 degree angle out the back.   Once the exhaust was dry I placed the engine in the cowling. Next I adjusted the exhaust to fit out the new exits cut into the back of cowling. Then added the engine cover and prop.   Next I moved on to the nose engine and attached the exhaust    Here is the nose engine mounted and the exhaust weathered   The wing engine mounted  Lastly I fitted the a plate over the center engines exhaust. This plate was intended to prevent engine oil from streaming onto the windshield.  Lower cover  Well that's it for now. Thanks for taking the time to look at my project.

| getting there ! nice build so far , are you going to do a dio as well ? - i've recently did a '52 , existing airframes have usually been altered over the years , making them almost useless for research . but isn't there an original kriegsmarine version in a museum in norway or somewhere ?
