Is it really so bad ???

You posted photos at 8:00 at night US local time and asked about it at 8:30 in the morning on a Saturday. This is still a US-centric site, most activity occurs during the day in the US.

It looks good, what did you use as the base?

Have you seen this thread? https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/71761&page=1

Hi,

Lookin pretty groovy to me...... is that the Academy motor?

and from the pics I have seen of that motor it is kinda hard to actually see ... it sits behind pipes... covers... hoses.... more hoses.... fans.... belts....

Thanks,

Gray

Very nice, Seb.
Are there belts running round the pulley wheels? If so the belts are really just lengths. If you see what I mean.
In the first pic the top section's missing while in the second the belt goes from small wheel to bigger wheel (with 3 spokes) to another small wheel and then stops.

Dear All
Thanks for comment and support, it is the academy kit and not a the Tamiya one.
Tamiya is the fisrt model use in M113 the academy is for the M113A1 and A2, it is a diesel engine.
What to know more about M113 engine

Concerning the galey i have no clear picture of the belt sorry


more info


Sorry Rob just didnot realize the time
i will post my comment to the thread you give me.
Nice question BTW
Cheers
Seb

Salut Seb!
Good effort on that engine!
Will you have the model open so that it can be seen?

Very nice... I'm workin on a small engine for a Quad Tractor at the moment... Call me dumb, but I'm a little confused.. I assume the wires you have there represent radiator hoses or the such, no? Also will you be including a distributer and the wiring. I found that some 1/24 scale race car kits have great smaller parts for tabk engines to be used as other stuff... Anyway, I'm interested in your final result!

Thanks for the question

@Nico, btw nice dio you are doing, the engine bay will be open and empty only the transmission will remains.

@Jo thanks for the tips, i will check that to my LHS
Finishing the engine bay today i will post some pics

Cheers

Hello Sebastien ,
The engine looks nicely detailed, you hardly see the engines in an armor model. How are you going to display your M113. Looking forward to seeing the finished kit.
