Does anyone know of aftermarket parts for the ancient Hawk, Testors C131? The engine cylinders are decals rather than 3d parts.

If it is in fact 1/72 as google seems to indicate. Then here be thy salvation. Double wasps aplenty. And it's one of our sponsors!

Sadly the old Testors C-131 is box scale somewhere around the neighbourhood of 1/126-ish. It's too big for a 1/144 collection and too small for a 1/100

Perhaps you could scrath-build a representation of the cylinders using half-round rod? Or could you copy the engines from the Revell Constellation?
