Doug, I have been lurking and watching from the start, this is one stunning piece of What-Iffery! The level and execution of detailing is just awesome.
Thanks for sharing so much detail, I will be poaching some of your techniques for future builds for sure.
Cheers, D

Also not my cup of tea, but I must say that you have done a spectacular job on this "what if" project.

thanks guys
it was a fun build and kinda refreshing to just go for it with all the weapons no matter how silly it looked.
I had fun.

Just a really cool build. Great conversion, not much resemblance to the original Blue Thunder. A very neat build.
