While this was done a couple of weeks ago I thought to reference the removal of the oil filler access as this was a feature usually associated with the Hispano Suiza motor. This version is of course the Wolseley Viper. The oil filler was relocated on production models.

Though most experimental versions including the first Viper installations did have the diamond shaped access. Even later in the war the airframes retained for experiments in exhaust, radiator and engine modifications were the early production SE 5a airframes.

The water droplet on the rigging is evidnce to my sweat poured in to the build.
