LSP_Kevin Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 This is some amazing work, Mal! I still can't figure out how you made those springs. I might have to copy them though, if I can't figure out how to have closed cowl flaps on my own build. Kev Mal_Belford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hi Buddy Absolutely an incredible start, as the detailing is simply so spot on, it's ridiculous! Talk about pulling one out of left field! I'll be glued to the monitor for this build and with you all the way Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
