Well the fuselage is together. Lots of sanding to do still. Working on an idea for the back end of the engines to make them look a little more realistic. I'll show that later if it works.

Finally decided I outta do something, anything at the bench. Dressed up the engines to make them look a little more modern. Added some sheet to make them look like thrust vectoring. Still some trimming to do yet.

Good to see! Keeep ‘er moovin’!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Another one that's back on the bench. More sanding with this one.

This one was only sidelined for four months... not bad
