Blimey!!! Thats incredible. Is it all scatch built(the fan etc) Looks simply amazing. One of the nicest engines ive seen (haha what an odd thing to say :-) ) I really want to build one myself now-with an M88A1 removing the engine.

Dear All
Thanks for the comments

@tom thanks for the comments

@Rob ok don't get so exacted the and the radiator is included in the tamiya kit.
I just remove the floor of the engine compartement and replace with PS.
I open the rear hatch of the compartement and i had the small closing think (dont know the name )
i had some tubes and some plastic around the compartement to increase the thickness and drill hole on the engine hatch
etc...

The fan and radiator are included?? really? I didnt know that, looked to me like you had made them from plasti card. It still look brilliant! Lots of interesting details. Will this be in a diorama?
