Very nice. This release makes the old Verlinden M60A3 engine look like an antique.

The M60 powerpack looks beatutiful, albeit probably very costly.

Now if it only fits, I've had problems with their resin shrinking.

This looks excellent, but I don't see the heat shield (gripe, gripe).

Have to agree. The shroud/heat shield is the first thing after the back deck to be removed, you cant pull the pack without taking it off, yet none of the engine kits include it. I'd love to see a kit with the shroud around the fans and over the tranny separate.

After we pulled open the grill doors, we pulled the heat shield first thing, that way we could disconnect the final drives. Anyway, should be easy enough to scratch build.

While I'm on roll, this appears to be a RISE pack. The generator intake is missing on the left side of the engine, which was present on pre-RISE packs. Compared to the Verlinden offering, however, this is a God-send.

Another amazing release from Legend. I love their work anyway but since I've spent a gazillion hours wrapped around engine packs like that one this is of particular interest. Way to go Legend! Fantastic detail.

Open the grill doors.
Unfasten / remove exhaust elbows. Wish they would make the 2 compressors and air dryer and air tanks for an A2 with the CBSS...
