I thought sod it im going for it... access panels open the lot.. thete will be a fair few scratch built parts needed and this will also be a first. .... I dont intend on 100% accuracy so dont shout at me if you think its wrong lol..

So cracked on a little last night, just remember my goal isn't accuracy, it's purely to add virtual detail.

You're planning to do the same in 1/144, aren't you?!?

The thought had crossed my mind........ Lol

Cheers guys appreciated

Another couple of hours opening up the "engine bay"? And scratching an engine, absolutely no accuracy here whatsoever built out of what I had and no references....

You've rumbled me; I've an incomplete Revell 144 Tornado that I'd always thought I'd use to make something like this rather sad picture:

But Mark's idea for the museum peice is much cheerier.

Mark,

Keep up the good work, don't worry about inaccuracies, it's got the right "feel"
