    Hi Charlie,

    I’ve been following for awhile, since your first GP12. Great job on the conversion.

    Once I pickup the correct RS model, I hope to build my own. With some of the detail parts scratch built, I drew the exhaust modification and printed on my 3D resin printer.

    Wondering if I could send you a couple and have you compare to your model. A lot of guesswork went into the measurements. One example is the spark arrestor mounts. They seem too wide, but could be an issue with the size of the metal castings.

    Hoping the attached picture gives you an idea of the differences. One is prior to the spark arrestor installation and the other is setup for the Details West casting. Let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks,

    Mike
