That engine looks to have a lot of moving parts... I would expect nothing less than to hear each one clicking and clattering... as well as the ruckus combustion from each one of those cylinders. You ARE the master, Nigel... The cockpit as well as the visual model are literal eye candy, OUTSTANDING WORK!!

Nigel, as I have said to you several times already, this is an awesome looking model. Love all the details inside and out.
Well I have an A W E S O M E Fishing Buddy without whose expertise, patience, inspiration and extreme generosity, I would be at a total loss!
Words can never express the gratitude, respect and admiration I hold for you - Bless you good Sir.

Thank you, Sir; the model is the Avro 621 Tutor.
you probably didn't recognise her in the uncowled version.
The cowled model is probably more familiar. There ya go;
Re your suggestions on transparencies - always willing to take a shot at anything. We'll get there
Thank YOU, Sascha - it's a ball to fly
Great to be back in business, great to see YOU, Rob!
Cheers, Nigel

LOL! You know very well the valves and springs are animated.
Master? No!
But I'll gladly settle for Master's apprentice

Aaaawe thanks Maarten
Juggling act between wanting to add more and poly count saying NOooo!!!
Just means creatively finding workarounds and lots of LEARNING.

er, more correctly the cowling on Nigel's Tutor is a Townend Ring : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townend_ring
Either way, its looking fabulous Nigel.

The final version sans Townend will also have the modified nose area - that's also the one I'll be fitting out with a pair of floats.
I'm seriously considering the Polish licence built, modified design variant; PWS-18.
This aircraft sported the slightly more powerful Avia Wright Whirlwind 9-cylinder radial (240 hp?)
I think I'd better set up a separate thread specifically for the Avro project, as hopefully, we should be seeing some developments on the scenery here.

Hi Nigel,
A Greek version (w/Armstrong Siddeley Lynx) ?
Hi Manuele,
Oh yes, my friend; Greece were the largest customer for the Avro Tutor - first on my list

Thank YOU, Sir - you're quite right of course; time to start a specific thread for the Tutor and unclogg the scenery posts.
Tutor is daily heading closer to open hangar doors - the scenery and Milton's gorgeous skiff will be next in line.
Working on the Avro Tutor has been a steep but awesome learning experience.
I believe this will be beneficial to the final Bounty scenery package - I am now able to consider including various animated objects and items beyond my former modeling capabilities.

Like I said, you're a master of the art, Nigel... AND as an apprentice, you have a good teacher, we all know who that is.
