It's been a while for the PBY, but that's because I've been scratchbuilding two very detailed and complicated engines. They're 14 cylinder engines EACH!!! I sculpted one cylinder and made a tiny mold for it. I got 14 pulls out of it and was ready to rock, until one of my co-workers again pushed me to just make the other 14 and have them be complete engines. The piping and wiring on them really make the thing work. The black shapes on top are the oil coolers. Don't worry it looks all clean and good when they're inside their cowling.
On a side secret note.... Eventually I'm going to build another 1:18 scale plane for a present. I can't say what it is, but I call it Project L-16. It also has a 14 cylinder radial engine, so I've technically started working on it!
