outstanding, love your builds and artwork

happy to see you back at this beast, I have complete faith that this will turn out great!

ahhh, the pod... After debating about sculpting it from Milliput I decided to use the plethora of spares the kit provided to scratch build the unit. Luckily I took a lot of pics of a QF4E a few years ago. I grabbed a sparrow missile half as the base, sheeted the aft section to give me the filler for the bay.

This was to be an in flight build, starting out I wanted to address the conversions and resin additions. The nose job. Lacking any instructions I sized up the new nose and comparing panel lines figured out my initial cuts. After completing
