Hi Alan, I've actually done the whole thing in one piece, with the exception of the single Wing that sits on top of the model. After I finish off the Toy, I'm going to have a go at making the real thing. I like the idea of separating the engines from the main body and building more detail. You know I never even thought of that! I guess that's where experience comes in. Its probably been the most enjoyable thing I've built so far Thank you for your kind words Alan, means a lot coming from the Thunderbird Master Cheers Paul Here are the latest Updates:
