Dan Vadas got a reaction from ESF in Rolls Royce Merlin Engine for Spitfire by Dan Vadas - FINISHED - Alin Osarik design - 1/33 scale - Card
Thanks Pav. The card is actually held down with very thin double-sided tape, not glued.
The rocker covers :
There were no exhaust pipes with the kit so I printed out the ones from the Spitfire. These took me two days to make, but I'm very happy with the way they turned out :

You are one crazy card constructor, Dan! Those exhausts are quite amazing.

I agree. Is that considered scratch building in the card kit world?

Ditto to the above John, except that I was actually at the museum last week and saw Meteor in the flesh . Unfortunately it was on Friday and you weren't there .

Thank you for all the comments and "Likes" .
The first part of the engine in the instructions is the Supercharger. I've nearly completed it below :
These parts took me a while to cut. So far I've come across four similar ones, all turned out fine with no accidents despite some of them being only 0.35mm wide :
The supercharger finished :
I reinforced the engine block with some 0.5mm card :
Another tricky piece :
The cylinder heads took quite a bit of work due to the "bumps" on the sides :
The oil pan :

I've been a bit slack with updates, I'm afraid, but there's a little more progress to show. 'Meteor' is now sporting a keelson and a pair of stringers on each side of the hull. These will all now have to be dowelled and properly cleaned up as they will be visible on the completed model if I go ahead with my current plan to only partially plank the hull.
Once that's done I can think about completing the stern framing and giving the outside of the hull some final fairing up before I start to think about planking.

Really nice work. I only realized, you used two pieces if card stock glued to your work top as a jig to hold oil pan together... note to myself...
