Re: JAP Model 3
Im thinking about painting it the same colour as the Norman, RAF Blue Grey, what do you guys think?
I would go Sand or Service Green, but I got 1/2 - 3/4 of a tin left so why waste it
I might be able to repair the broken parts with either JB Weld or Solder see how it goes, I might be able to make a new control bit out of some thick gauge wire, wont be as nice as the original but I cant make one and i doubt I can find one!
will get the Head off and have a look inside! the exhaust valve needs reseating as its not sealing.
will get photos up as I go!

Re: JAP Model 3
Well started stipping it down, its doesn't seem to have been run very long or hard. as the bore rings and valves are near new! but it is showing some battle scares!
Which might explain the throttle mod? or battle bodge! but there is more evidence later
Not sure why there a hole in the push rod covers? but its been soldered
HS piston
Right I opened the governor cover and found..........
Nothing!
So I wonder why its been removed, I would like to think it has been repaired while on the field to get it running again, but my common sence tells me it was bodged later in life!
Nerver know could have substained some battle damage and had some field repairs to keep a operational urgent bit of equipment servicable!

Re: JAP Model 3
What do you think would be the best plan?
Do you think it i should try and source a governor Stop Laughing!, or im thinking i can modify a throttle cable sort of job to get the engine running again,
I dont think I will be able to get it back to Orginal, Considering the Damage (which may have been substained operationaly) I would like to see it running again, at show a engine that may or may not have a bit oh history, I can write a good tale lol

Re: JAP Model 3
What i Think im going to do it repair the throttle bits that are there, but retro fit a throttle cable, this means that if a Governor turns up it can be put back to standard!

Re: JAP Model 3
Well had a clean of bits tonight, got most of the brass cleaned up, a bit of vinegar really does the trick, ground the valves is, cleaned and sprayed the barrel and cylinder head, undercoated the vavle cover, push rod tube and and a few small bits, also got a couple of coats of undercoat on the cowling. been a busy boy lol
right should I keep the main casing aluminium or paint it up? its going to be a pain to clean and the old MOD paint sticks like S*#t to a blanket!

Re: JAP Model 3
Right its slapped back together for effect, something dosnt seem right! might change the valve cover to blue.
Im starting to have doubts about the silver! not sure what else would look ok though, apart from blue, any ideas?
