Got entangled with some tedious aspects of my cutaways so wanted to relax starting the bottom view. Computer crashed before the day's work was saved.... You know, Murphy's... Relaxed finalizing a few top views (done as far as I am concerned) and made some progress with the front view :

Of more relevance of what we do over here, a few AAC "fake" tops :

Several drawings upated (see previous posts: top views, engine nacelle,...). While of a lesser interest to Shipbucket readers, unless anyone wishing to go ahead with a fantasy of their own, a tentative layout of the P&W R-4360-51-VDT (whatever name I give to this contraption) :

Any comment, especially negative ones, welcome.

Wow! I must admit I've always loved the P&W radials, especially the Wasp Major

Very nice work :) .
To me, the P&W 4360 is the best aircraft engine ever made ;) .

I can say within the own limited confines of my own authority that, at least from a technical standpoint, this is the most impressive drawing I've ever seen on this site.

Thanks all for your interest. As mentioned earlier, various mods lead to "cutaway profiles" being updated

For what it's worth there's nothing to my eye that they're not up to FD scale standards. They might be outside the scope of it, but that's something else.
