Sorry, you didn't get a build diary of this one. To be honest, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish it. It's lots of very tiny parts.
The engine is a Gnome Monosoupape 100hp British rotary engine to give it its full name. It was fitted to the Sopwith Pup, and quite a few other planes of the period.
The kit is made by Taurus models of Poland, and I heartily recommend the company. The owner is a really nice guy to deal with, and happily sent me some spare parts when the carpet monster got greedy!! His web site is here.
http://www.taurusmodels.plThe kit consist of 90 odd resin parts, the largest of which is the crank case, the smallest make a splinter look big! The casting is absolutely superb.
I did find one photo of the rocker on my phone, with a No 11 scalpel blade point for scale.

A rear view. The stand is clear resin. I painted the base black, and the engine is glued with Krystal Klear, so the rear detail isn't hidden.

I have another kit by the same company. A Clerget 9B, as fitted to a Sopwith Camel amongst others. This monster of a kit is still 1/32, not massively bigger in size, but consists of nearly 300 mostly tiny resin parts. Again, superbly cast. The cooling fins are the finest casing I've ever seen. Łukasz, the owner of the business must have studied at Hogwarts. There's no other explanation. I'll do a diary for that one when I eventually start it.
