I keep looking at the finish on that engine- simply stunning. What paint did you use?
It's mostly Tamiya acrylics. The metal looking parts are a mix of 'metallic grey' and 'silver', the blue is a mix of royal blue and white, and the valve cover is Model Master enamel 'chrome silver'. Testors gold was used for those little round things and I did a wash with Model Master black enamel. I think it's the wash that brings out the realism the most.
