The paint on the engine really makes the detail pop. I hope you can get the fuselage and wing root marriage without any gaps or steps with the seams

Magnificent job on the painted detail you added to that BMW 801! Wonderful work in this scale with that kind of detail work and paint.

I posted the video but it shows up as a link and functions the same way as the way you did it. I clicked on this icon in the tool bar : ![](https://storage.proboards.com/forum/images/bbcode/movie.png) and then posted the link from the video into it and it showed up like this. imgur.com/a/yZsHsPAI'm assuming that's exactly how you did it?

Another update: Here is another engine underway which will be displayed next to the A-7 in a shipping crate. things are starting to shape up…. This is indeed looking SWELL so far Keith. I will say this. If you can address the fit issue with the fuselage fit at the gun firewall now on the A-7 it won't be hard to take care of. You may want to heat these areas up and adjust them inwards slightly to ensure a good fit to the cowl gun back wall against the sides of the fuselage in these areas. Test fit the windscreen into place to make sure you'll get a flush fit there as well. ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q70/922/LgIq2D.jpg)

Luckily for me, that’s just a test fit on the A-7. It’s held together with a clamp there. It actually looks like it will fit into place perfectly. So much better fitting than the D-9 fortunately

Another update. Engine hoist is roughly together. Will need a few more bits on it and paint. Based it on what the Luftwaffe seemed to use: ![](https://i.postimg.cc/wMfP7mSB/IMG-0606.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/WzbCNnYK/IMG-4134.jpg)

I can already tell that this is going to be a VERY cool project Keith. Thanks bud! Got the A-7 together last night. I had a bit of a struggle, but made it work. Minimal putty work to be done on the fuselage. Engine crate completed: ![](https://i.postimg.cc/RCHKdQ64/crate-2-copy-edited.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/1516jnw6/crate-3-copy-edited.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/8cMvCNQj/crate-copy-edited.jpg)

The chain looks much much better ow that it's aged... and unless someone looks super close, the jewelry snap link will pass muster.
