Hi all, Just a few updates. The completed engine has been fitted with the top cover panel. I added ignition leads from 0.3 mm lead wire (PlusModel). Also, the support strut for the top cover panel, located between the engine crankcase and underside of the panel. Of course the leads and strut can't easily be seen. The propeller is not from the kit as that propeller is not well produced. I've used the propeller from the Lukgraph BE2c model I made as I used a proper Plane propeller on that model. The BE2c and FK.3 used the same engine and propeller. The propeller is painted and just needs the manufacturers logos adding to the blades. Most photographs of this aircraft show that the propeller was made by F. Tibbenham Ltd of Ipswich. Their logo is shown below. Fortunately, the decal set from LF Models (British WW1 propeller labels - part III - 3208) has the logo. Once they arrive I'll add them to the propeller blades. Now it's onto the pre-rigging stage, Mike
