Sure that the resin engine provided with the MustHave! kit will also replace advantageously the poor original one...

You're absolutely correct--the MustHave! engine will doubtless be superior to both the kit part and resin version that I am using.

Here is the engine and cowling after fitting the carburetor and oil cooler scoops, awaiting some finish work on the cowl flaps and final paint.

Thanks, y'all--I can't take much credit for that engine as I simply recast parts from an SBD-2 kit to make it.

I have done a little bit more on the Curtiss in the last few days. I'm almost ready for the major paint coat to go on after spraying all of the odds-and-ends. So far there are seven distinct colors on this model........with just a couple more to go.

Sort of. ;) The final scheme may become clearer yet today if I get the airbrush fired up. Right now I'm still sipping coffee...... :-paper
