Good calls on the throttle linkages. The Napier Sabre was basically two engines stacked on top of each other. Hearing the stories of the early Typhoon pilots in dealing with the Sabre is quite eye opening. It took a brave man to go into the heat of the war, even braver to do it in a Typhoon.
Wow! That throttle linkage looks like it would actually articulate! I love how you made everything pop on the engine, looks amazing! Eagerly awaiting the next update!
The component on the upper rear part of the engine with linkage is the Coffman Cartridge Starter…………I’m becoming worryingly nerdy about this engine…..😮😂
I’m surprised that they never actually cured or solved the exhaust leak into the cockpit,so forcing the pilots to wear,oxygen masks for start to finish.
Standard colour from the factory for the Napier Sabre was GREEN. Not black unfortunately. Many other colours came to be after an engine overhaul in reference photos I’ve seen.
Really coming together beautifully
Hope so David 👍

it’s a beast of an engine that’s for sure Mike.
That certainly is some excellent work on the power plant for the Tempest, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👌👍👌👍👌☺
cheers Les
wow! simply a perfect job
Thanks Stefan
Need the hands of a Harley Street surgeon to assemble the engine... Well done..!
😬😂😂
That Lancaster looks a beast of a build! That’ll keep you busy for a while.
It’s a biggie but it’s going together really well. Aiming to get it to Telford for my club display.

Be as nerdy as you like - it’s all part of the hobby 👍
Beautiful Steve! Are you entering this at Telford too?
No I don’t think it will be ready - too much to do to the Bismarck and HK 1/32 Lancaster that I’m building for the show.

I’ve heard about that problem - as if flying into battle wasn’t daunting enough.
Steve, where do you get your Alclad 311 Klear Kote light sheen from please? TIA.
I don’t any more it’s too difficult to get here in the Uk. I used Tamiya clear coats on this model

Does that include the sabres manufactured by EE?
