Hi Hermann

Wow! That's a lovely piece of work! We should get that onto the Frontpage as an On-Display Feature.

All the best

Hi Hermann,

Very nice job indeed. Having just built the same model I know the work involved to achieve such a result.

I think there are some exhaust pieces missing though. I hope you didn't loose them to the carpet monster...

Thank you Chuck, Rowan and Jean-Luc for the kind words. Jean-Luc you a right and I had to remove one exhaust for each side. I do not know what I happened since I followed the instructions to the "t" but the removable part that is used to align the exhausts managed to keep the pipes too low. As a result the engine would not fit properly when mounting it to the fuselage. I thought about filing it a bit and adding the remaining pipes later on. In the end, I was happy with the results and decided to leave them off and accept it's inaccuracies.
