Thanks, y'all! I thought about a painted windscreen/canopy and even folded a piece of black paper around the fuse a la El Gringo to see how it would look. I don't know, I just can't envision it having any scale-like details. But that doesn't mean another one wouldn't look great done that way.

I think Sure Shark is growing on me. Or at least something similar that ties together the engine with the design in some way.
