Where do I start? Such a lot of questions & answers. Our view is that the fuselage is a used Australian example. It comes complete with battle damage, a couple of rounds through frames, from the rear, by the navigators position. As regards engines we would love to put originals in but getting them is a problem, unless you know different! We would like four please. The alternative is to fit, say, a Hercules 216 from a Hastings. The early engines are totally different in so many ways to the later Mks., this means re-designing the engine bearer, which we have done.The engine would be de-rated to match the power output.Parts do exist for the propellers but so far no blades.Behind the scenes parts are being made for the rudder, elevators, ailerons & tailplane. If you know of any parts please let me know.
