This is my second MFH 917 motor at 1/24, third overall if you include the 908/03 which is quite similar. So I'm getting better at it knowing what to expect -- photo-etched throttle linkages and two plugs per cylinder among other things. The semi-transparent yellow plastic for the fibreglass bits is lovely. Here is the injector wiring going in, with injectors pointing up into the airstream, a first for me:
The engine is clearly wired up as a pair of 6-cylinder inline motors, where the cross-over exhaust piping in the 908 engine shows it was wired up as a pair of flat fours end to end.
First bank of wiring done. I used Detail Master 0.016" red plug wire for this, because the provided black wire is both too flimsy and too hard to see.
This is the hard side to do, with the injection pump in the way.
The other side (right side of the engine) has less stuff in the way of the plug wiring.
Next: Plunk this all in the chassis where it will never be seen again. Stay tuned!
