Default Group Help on a Gulfstream G550

Guys (and Gals)....

I just happen to be in possession of 2 evoJet 90's and they need a home....so I was thinking twin F-4 but my buddy Ozie slapped me about the head and shoulders for even thinking the thought.... Then I thought A-10, yeah that would be cool.... and then it hit me, why not do a model of one of the jets I actually work on? Hey now there's a thought! So, I sized them up and made my choice (sorry BBJ, maybe next time!).

That brings me to, building a model of a Gulfstream G550...but ALAS there is no commercial model of said airframe...So I guess it is scratch build time! Now I am a fairly good builder but I am by nobody's description a "scratch" builder, so I come to you with hat in hand and ask for assistance.

I know what I want but I have no idea where to start. I have two turbines and an idea.

This is what I know: 2 engines, about the same physical size as a P-70 and they put out a conservative 19 pounds of blow. (See I told you I don't know much!)

Anyone care to suggest on how to proceed?
