Looks very nice- great nmf! Question: didn't the side windows roll down into the nacelle like car windows?

Your right Chuck, they slid down into the nacelle as far as I know.
Very nice job.
How many have you built? It says 3 available on the Ebay page for this model.

Beautiful job on the metal finish. I've got to try and duplicate that in 1/32 scale. I hope mine comes out half as good.
