Do I understand correctly Engines & Things is no longer around? Contemplating purchasing the Special Hobby F2G but put off by the lack of R-4360. Wanted to augment with an Engines and Things R-4360 but seem to be coming to the conclusion they aren't available any longer? Please correct me if I am wrong!

Out of curiosity, I've ordered the kit sight unseen. Does anyone have any pictures to show what you get with Engines and Things' R4360 kit? I've found one shot on the net and it is rather non descriptive...

Most Engines and Things engines are one piece mouldings which are hardly as detailed as some of the more advanced resin engines. About the only thing they have different from a plastic kit engine is the fact that they're the full engine and not just a face. But that's all you get. Mountings, exhausts and anything else must be scratchbuilt.

Thanks for the reply Jessica. We'll see what shows up! Really wish someone would do the R4360 in 1/32, that would have saved me the trouble of going 1/72...
