I bought the engine bay and engine kits from Hobby Fan for the M41. It might just have been my boxes, but there wasn’t any instructions with either - all I have to go by are the pictures on the boxes.
I do have three books on the M41, but photos of the areas are few; neither has my search on the net provided anything.
The little I do have leaves me wondering if the kits provides all parts for the engine bay?
I would really appreciate any help with this. Anyone who has build these kits, please write about your build. If anyone has good clear pictures, preferably from different angles, please share them with me.
I really hope someone will help me - private messages is okay too.

Hi Kenneth
Weapsim in Australia recently restored NZ 30545 - a kiwi M41, so there are quite a few engine bay views - https://www.facebook.com/pg/Weapsim-119975015364818/photos/?ref=page_internal -

Thank you all. That New Zealand M41 restoration was exactly what I was looking for. The flip side of it is, unfortunately, that it shows how rudimentary Hobby Fn’s kit really is.
